The Press-Enterprise
The Press-Enterprise is a paid daily newspaper published by Digital First Media that serves the Inland Empire in Southern California. Headquartered in downtown Riverside, California, it is the primary newspaper for Riverside County, with heavy penetration into neighboring San Bernardino County. The geographic circulation area of the newspaper spans from the border of Orange County to the west, east to the Coachella Valley, north to the San Bernardino Mountains, and south to the San Diego County line. The Press-Enterprise is a member of the Southern California News Group.
The Riverside Press was first published on June 29, 1878, by James H. Roe, a druggist and teacher. The weekly paper began with 500 subscribers. In 1880, Roe sold the newspaper for $1,300 to Luther M. Holt, who renamed it to the Riverside Press and Horticulturist. He expanded it into a tri-weekly in 1885, and a year later began issuing the paper daily.
Holt sold the Press in 1888 to J.W. Tibbot for $20,000, who soon resold it later that year to Roe, Reverdy J. Pierson and E.W. Holmes. Roe retired a year later. Pierson died in May 1894. A year later his estate sold his half-interest to the Clarke Bros., former owners of the Ontario Record. Holmes also sold out at that time. E.P. Clarke became editor-in-chief and A.F. Clarke became city editor.
The paper was operated by the Press Publishing Company. Around 1930, the Sun Publishing Company, publisher of the San Bernardino Sun purchased a half-interest in the business.
The Riverside Daily Enterprise was first published in December 1885 by David F. Sarber. Sarber retired in August 1886 and was succeeded by J.A. Studabecker. In April 1890, George A. Faylor relocated the Paso Pobles Moon to Riverside and bought and absorbed the Enterprise. The Riverside Moon ceased after a few weeks.
In June 1890, Mark R. Plaisted revived the Enterprise. It became a county paper in 1896 when it absorbed the Perris Valley Record and the Moreno Valley Indicator. Plaisted sold the paper in April 1899 to H.H. Monroe and Clarence W. Barton. At some point Monroe left and the paper was renamed to the Mission.
In March 1910, Barton sold the Riverside Morning Mission to the Milnes Brothers. A month later Edgar Johnson, publisher of the Orange County Tribune, bought the paper and renamed it back to the Riverside Enterprise. He sold the paper in October 1911 to Monroe. Around January 1912, the Enterprise came under the ownership of Frederick O'Brien. In October, O'Brien sold the Enterprise to John Raymond "Ray" Gabbert and purchased his ownership stake in the Oxnard Courier. Gabbert sold a half-interest in the paper to Will H. Marsh in January 1927.
In 1931, Ray Gabbert sold his half-interest in the Riverside Enterprise to the Sun Publishing Company, which co-owned the Riverside Press and published San Bernardino Sun. Howard H. Hays bought in as a stockholder and was named president of the Enterprise. The newly combined company issued The Enterprise in the morning, and The Press in the evenings. In 1954, the Riverside Press changed its company name to the Press-Enterprise Company, and in 1955 the two papers began printing a joint Sunday edition called the Sunday Press-Enterprise. Due to market conditions, the two papers were combined into one morning paper, The Press-Enterprise, in 1983.
