Manchester applauded the Times for its coverage of high school sports and civic and charitable events. Several months ago, it began printing at The Press-Enterprise in Riverside. The North County Times, whose coverage area includes Escondido, Carlsbad, Oceanside and the Camp Pendleton Marine base, has 170 employees, including about 75 in the newsroom, York said. Junck was named chairwoman of The Associated Press in April and has served on the news cooperative's board of directors since 2004. San Diego, Texas is a quiet two-stoplight town with a strong history in. "Because of continually changing market conditions, it became increasingly apparent that the North County Times would benefit from becoming part of a strong regional operation," said Mary Junck, Lee's chairwoman and chief executive officer. The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) School of Public Health is one of the top universities in the nation responsible for training the bulk of today’s public health academic leaders, according to a recently released independent analysis. Louis Post-Dispatch, Arizona Daily Star and nearly 50 other newspapers, emerged from a pre-packaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this year, allowing it to complete the restructuring of about $1 billion in debt. U-T San Diego had paid weekday circulation of 230,742 and Sunday circulation of 364,454, ranking as the nation's 24th largest newspaper. Serving the California city famed for the best climate in the United States, a San Diego Union Tribune newspaper subscription offers residents Pulitzer Prize-winning content in a paper. The Times and Californian had paid weekday circulation of 74,848 and Sunday circulation of 80,789 during a six-month period ending in March, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations. As the oldest business in San Diego County and the second oldest newspaper in Southern California, the Union Tribune traces its beginnings back to 1868. Peter York, the Times' publisher, said the newspaper is profitable but declined to provide a figure. Lee said the North County Times had revenue of $27.6 million in the fiscal year ending Aug. Lee Enterprises, based in Davenport, Iowa, said sale proceeds would be used to reduce debt. He supports downtown development, including construction of stadium for the NFL Chargers, and has proposed a makeover for the city's downtown waterfront, calling it the newspaper's top priority in a front-page editorial. Since buying the U-T for about $110 million last year and changing the masthead to read "The World's Greatest Country & America's Finest City," Manchester has used the newspaper to promote his pro-military and pro-business views. He told radio station KPBS that he was undecided whether the Times will remain a stand-alone newspaper, have its own editorial board or adjust staffing. Manchester, who likes to be called "Papa Doug," gave no indication of immediate changes at the North County Times and The Californian, a newspaper serving Temecula in southwest Riverside County that is included in the purchase. He also invested heavily in television, building a studio at the newspaper's headquarters.
