Pacifica Tribune

For over six decades, the Pacifica Tribune has been a vital source of news for the residents of the Pacifica community. The area's newspaper history began in the 1930s with the Sharp Park Breakers, which soon combined with another publication, the Coastside Tribune. In 1959, Bill Drake, the new owner, changed the name to the Pacifica Tribune to honor the city's incorporation. After Drake sold the paper in 1989, it changed hands three times before being acquired by the Coastside News Group.
