editIn 1963, theEvening News made several innovations to expand of its service to nearbyForks andSequim, with a dedicated correspondent in each city. Advertising revenue and circulation numbers increased, with the total circulation growing from 6,650 to 7,000.[3]
In the 2000s theDaily News also producedSequim This Week.[4]
Sound Publications ofPoulsbo, Washington, the largest publisher ofcommunity newspapers in Washington and a division ofCanadian publisherBlack Press, purchased thePeninsula Daily News for an undisclosed sum in November 2011. The paper's previous owner, Horvitz Newspapers ofBellevue, Washington, had held it for 17 years.[5]
The same day it purchased thePeninsula Daily News, Sound Publications also bought a competingweekly newspaper publisher, Olympic View Publishing Company, owner of theSequim Gazette andForks Forum, along with local real estate publications.[6]
Both theDaily News and the former Olympic View publications are printed at Sound Publications' "state-of-the-art" presses inEverett. The closure of theDaily News presses in Port Angeles in November 2011 cost 20 full- and part-time pressroom and mailroom jobs.[7]
