The Press Democrat is a daily newspaper published in Santa Rosa, California. It has the largest circulation in California's North Bay.

History[change | change source]

The newspaper was started in 1897 by Ernest L. Finley. He combined Evening Press and Thomas Thompson's Sonoma Democrat (originally created as a voice for the Democratic Party). Finley also bought the Santa Rosa Republican in 1927 and brought it together with the Press Democrat in 1948.
