El Paso Times
Encyclopedia
The El Paso Times is the English-language newspaper for the U.S.
city of El Paso, Texas
. The paper was founded in 1881 by Marcellus Washington Carrico. It originally started out as a weekly but within a year's time, it became the daily newspaper for the frontier
town.
The newspaper has a daily circulation of 73,172 and 88,410 on Sundays. In December 2005, Gannett became a minority partner in the El Paso Times, handing the majority of the partnership and management to Denver-based MediaNews.
The paper is currently the only English-language daily in El Paso, but often competes with the Spanish-language El Diario de El Paso
, an offshoot of El Diario de Juárez.
Because of declining newspaper circulations nationwide, the El Paso Times has recently expanded its online capabilities and introduced continuous online updates.
