Visalia Times-Delta

The Visalia Times-Delta is a digital and print newspaper published in Visalia, California. It is the oldest newspaper in the San Joaquin Valley and the sixth oldest daily newspaper in California. It is owned by Gannett and it is part of the USA Today Network.

History
It was originally named the Tulare County Record and Fresno Examiner, and was founded June 25, 1859 by I. W. Carpenter, a printer.

In 1948, the Times-Delta was purchased by Speidel Newspapers. It then became part of Gannet when Speidel merged with Gannett.

As part of the USA Today Network, critics have said that the Times-Delta has lost local control of its own coverage without an on-site editor or publisher.

In 2000, the website was launched and a Spanish weekly, El Sol, was added in 2003.

In January 2024, the newspaper announced it will shut down its printing plant. In March 2024, the newspaper announced it will switch from carrier to postal delivery.
