Seattle's major daily newspaper is ''[[The Seattle Times]]''. The local Blethen family owns 50.5% of the ''Times'',<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.seattletimescompany.com/communication/overview.htm | title=Overview of The Seattle Times | publisher=The Seattle Times Company | access-date=October 31, 2007}}</ref> the other 49.5% being owned by the [[The McClatchy Company|McClatchy Company]].<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.seattleweekly.com/2006-03-15/news/a-new-co-owner-for-the-seattle-times.php | title=A New Co-Owner for The Seattle Times | publisher=Seattle Weekly | author=Bill Richards | date=March 15, 2006 | access-date=November 1, 2007 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070806053336/http://www.seattleweekly.com/2006-03-15/news/a-new-co-owner-for-the-seattle-times.php | archive-date=August 6, 2007 | url-status=dead }}</ref>  The ''Times'' holds the largest Sunday circulation in the Pacific Northwest. The ''[[Seattle Post-Intelligencer]]'' (now online only) is owned by the [[Hearst Corporation]].<ref name=joa>{{cite web|url=http://www.seattletimescompany.com/joa.htm |title=Joint Operation Agreement |publisher=The Seattle Times Company |access-date=October 3, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927011438/http://www.seattletimescompany.com/joa.htm |archive-date=September 27, 2007 }}</ref>  The ''[[Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce]]'' covers economic news, and ''[[The Daily of the University of Washington]]'', the [[University of Washington]]'s school paper, is published five days per week during the school year.

The Seattle newspaper landscape changed dramatically in 2009, when the ''Seattle Post-Intelligencer'' ceased print publication. Previously, the ''Post-Intelligencer'' and ''The Seattle Times'' had shared a joint-operating agreement under which the ''Times'' handled business operations outside the newsroom for its competitor. When the ''Post-Intelligencer'' went online-only as SeattlePI.com, ''The Seattle Times'' felt the blow financially but continues to be a profit-earning publication and even increased its print circulation in 2009 by 30 percent. Nonetheless, the ''P-I'''s move to online-only resulted in 145 jobs lost at that publication, while ''The Seattle Times'' cut 150 editorial positions shortly before that, in December 2008. The ''Times'' reaches 7 out of 10 adults in King and Snohomish Counties. With fewer resources, the ''Times'' took steps to consolidate some of its news coverage: for example, folding the daily business section into the paper's A section. ''The Seattle Times'' has been recognized for its editorial excellence: The newspaper has been the recipient of nine Pulitzer Prizes. In recent years, the ''Times'' has begun to partner with other types of media outlets, including collaborations with several local bloggers that are funded by American university's J-Lab: the Institute for Interactive Journalism and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.<ref name="mediapolicy.newamerica.net"/>

The most prominent weeklies are the ''[[Seattle Weekly]]'' and ''[[The Stranger (newspaper)|The Stranger]]''. Both consider themselves [[alternative weekly|alternative papers]].  ''The Stranger'', founded in 1992, is locally owned and has a younger and hipper readership.  ''The Seattle Weekly'', founded in 1976, has a longstanding reputation for in-depth coverage of the arts and local politics.  It was purchased in 2000 by [[Village Voice Media]], which in turn was acquired in 2005 by [[New Times Media]]. New Times Media has decreased the ''Weekly's'' emphasis on politics.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.seattlepi.com/lifestyle/57274_newswar07.shtml |title=Rumble in the weekly-newspaper jungle |publisher=Seattle Post-Intelligencer |author=John Marshall |date=February 7, 2002 |access-date=October 28, 2007 }}{{dead link|date=June 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.seattlepi.com/local/281567_seaweekly17.html | title=A new history at Seattle Weekly | publisher=Seattle Post-Intelligencer | author=Mike Lewis | date=August 17, 2006 | access-date=October 28, 2007 }}</ref>  Other weekly papers are the ''[[Seattle Gay News]]'' and ''[[Real Change]],'' an activist paper sold by [[homeless]] and low-income people.
