History
The Almaden Resident was founded in 2003[2] as part of a group of weekly newspapers in the Metro Newspapers group, called Silicon Valley Community Newspapers. Dan Pulcrano and David Cohen co-founded Metro Newspapers in 1985.[3] In 2001, Silicon Valley Community Newspapers, spun off from Metro Newspapers, under chief executive officer David Cohen.[4] In 2005, Cohen sold Silicon Valley Community Newspapers to Knight Ridder, though he stayed on as publisher and chief executive for the SVCN papers.[5] In 2006, Knight Ridder was purchased by McClatchy Co.,[6] which immediately sold SVCN and the San Jose Mercury News to MediaNews Group.[7]
