Noozhawk is an online newspaper that provides coverage for Santa Barbara County, California. While initially focused on the greater Santa Barbara area, Noozhawk expanded its coverage to the northern part of the county in the summer of 2014. It gained further potential audience with the July 2023 bankruptcy of the Santa Barbara News-Press.
