Peninsula Clarion

The Peninsula Clarion is a regional newspaper published in Kenai, Alaska that serves the population of the Kenai Peninsula.

History
The paper was founded in 1970. Five years later it was purchased by Dick Morgan, Max Swearingen and Pat O'Connell.

In 1978, the paper transitioned from a weekly to a Monday through Friday publication. The Clarion began producing its web edition in April 2000.

In 1990, the paper was purchased by Georgia-based Morris Communications. In 2017, Morris sold its newspapers to GateHouse Media. In 2018, GateHouse sold its Alaska papers to Sound Publications.

Beginning May 3, 2023, the Peninsula Clarion is reducing print frequency from five days a week to two. The paper also shifted printing to an off-site Alaska printer. In June 2024, the paper announced it will reduce print frequency to one edition a week mailed out on Fridays.
