The Press Democrat, with the largest circulation in California's North Bay, is a daily newspaper published in Santa Rosa, California.

History[change | change source]

The newspaper was made in 1897 by Ernest L. Finley who combined Evening Press and Thomas Thompson's Sonoma Democrat (originally created as a voice for the Democratic Party). Finley also bought the Santa Rosa Republican in 1927 and brought it together with the Press Democrat in 1948.
