In October 2020, the Pacifica Tribune was purchased by the Coastside News Group.[1] The Pacifica Tribune is separately published, and has its own reporters, although some articles are printed in both papers.
The Review is owned by Coastside News Group, Inc., a California Benefit Corporation created by a group of community members.[2] Wick Communications had purchased the Half Moon Bay Review in 1986.[3] They announced plans to sell the newspaper in September 2017. A group of community members, calling themselves the Coastside News Group, entered into an agreement to purchase the paper from Wick in February 2018,[4] and the purchase was completed in June 2018.[2]
