The Tustin News was a newspaper covering the community of Tustin, California, from 1922 to 2018.[3][4]
History
In November 1922, Timothy Brownhill published the first edition of the weekly Tustin News in Tustin California.[5] It was acquired by Rev. John Winterbourne in June 1923,[6] Frank H. Fowler in February 1925,[7] and Dr. C.D. Williamson in March 1930.[8] A month later the News was sold to Winterbourne's sons, Dale and John Jr.[9]
After selling the News, Fowler purchased another paper in Orange County called the Yorba Linda Star.[10] Fowler returned to the News in September 1932.[11] Clyde Simmons was put in charge in June 1937 so Fowler could focus his attention on Costa Mesa Globe.[12]
After a few years his wife Gretchen A. Simmons replaced her husband as publisher. The News was taken over by C.W. Mast in August 1944,[13] Edward N. Reed Jr. and Raymond L. Baker in July 1946.[14] Fowler returned as publisher for a third time in March 1947.[15] Harry Young was then named editor, and give an option to buy the business.[16]
However, the paper was soon acquired by James W. Quinn later that year, followed by R. Robert Evans in April 1955,[17] and William A. and Lucille Moses on July 25, 1956.[18] Fowler, sometimes called the "dean of country newspapermen in Southern California", died in 1961.[19] The Moses family retained ownership of the News for 39 years. The couple sold the paper in 1995 to Freedom Newspapers, owner of the OC Register.[20] In 2018, the Register merged the News into the Irvine World News.[21]
