El Paso Times
Encyclopedia : E : EL : ELP : El Paso Times
The El Paso Times is the newspaper for the 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. It is owned by Gannett Co., Inc. 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 newspaper has a reputation of being very conservative both in its opinion page and news page, despite being the major paper in a strongly Democratic and nearly 77% Hispanic city. For example, the Iraq War is always referred to as Operation Iraqi Freedom.[[Citing sources citation needed]]
