New West San Jose Newspaper
"June 1, 1980. Ted Turner launches 24-hour news network. People doubt there will be enough news to fill 24 hours, people are right."
-Daily Show
But will there be enough news to fill a nebulous place known as West San Jose?
Silicon Valley Community Newspapers aims to find out and is planning to launch a West San Jose newspaper this summer. At the moment, there are no plans to add reporting staff but to instead fill the paper with articles from the neighboring Sunnyvale Sun, Cupertino Courier and Saratoga Sun. And likely articles from freelancers. With SVCN's papers becoming de facto local bureaus for the San Jose Mercury News, the new West San Jose paper could later provide a way for the Merc to hire a local reporter at SVCN's cut rate, non-union wages.
