[2] The newspapers hald been under common ownership since 1901.
[3] The Evening-Tribune was the evening paper, while the Union was the morning paper; the Union-Tribune is a morning paper.
[3] As of 2015, the Union-Tribune had won four
Pulitzer Prizes and was the oldest company in continuous operation in San Diego.
[4] In 2015,

The Times of San Diego is a Web-based news outlet founded in 2014
[23]
[24] that features local news daily for the city and surrounding area.
[25]
[26] It has earned acclaim as a small business with a booming readership.
[27]
[28] Currently the site reaches over 1 million unique users every month, according to its published reports. The audience is young, with readers aged 18 to 44 constituting the largest segment. Nearly 60 percent of reading sessions are from
Southern California . At the height of the
COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020, the site reported 1.53 million unique users.
[29] Times of San Diego differs from other recent local-media startups in providing full daily coverage of news in a large metro area, rather than infrequent in-depth articles. It differs in this regard from Voice of San Diego, a 15-year-old startup, and has passed that website in audience size. Times of San Diego's contributing editors have been featured on local radio programs and have led training sessions for local journalists.
[30]
[31]
[32] Times of San Diego has been named "best news site" four years in row by the San Diego Press Club, and the site's editors took home 23 other awards in 2019.
[33]
[34] The site received a grant from Google in June 2020 to expand coverage of the local impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
[35]
Voice of San Diego (Voiceofsandiego.org) is a
non-profit news outlet in San Diego that reports on the city.
[36] A Web-only local outlet, Voice of San Diego was founded in 2005,
[37] it was one of a number of such publications that emerged around that time in responsive to cutbacks in traditional local print newspapers.
[38]
[39]
[40] The site is known for both its news coverage and local
investigative reporting .
[37]
[40]
[41] The website is partially funded by grants, but is financed primarily on a paid membership model. In 2016, Voice of San Diego launched the News Revenue Hub, a pilot project aimed at helping other nonprofit news organizations adopt its model. Members of the pilot include
Honolulu Civil Beat ,
InsideClimate News , The Lens , and New Jersey Spotlight .
[42]
[43]
[44] It has won a variety of local journalism awards from the San Diego chapter of the
Society of Professional Journalists (for reports exposing corruption at the
San Diego Unified School District )
[45] and from the San Diego Press Club.
