Quote:
In 2000, Wendy McCaw purchased the Santa Barbara News-Press, one of California's oldest newspapers, from The New York Times for $100 million.[1]

In 2006, McCaw was accused of interfering with the newsroom editorial judgment at the News-Press.[2] Five editors and a columnist resigned over the controversy. A number of other publishers and editors have resigned since she purchased the paper in 2000 over differences with McCaw.[1]

In December 2006, McCaw sued Chapman University professor Susan Paterno over her article in the American Journalism Review that had criticized her management of the paper.[3]

As of 2016, staff at the newspaper had dropped from 200, from when she purchased the newspaper, to 20.[1] In 2016, the Santa Barbara News-Press endorsed Donald Trump for president, making it then one of only six newspapers in the country to do so.[1] According to biographer Tyler Sam, there was no question McCaw was "behind the endorsement.“
