The Carmel Pine Cone is a free weekly Californian newspaper.[1][2] It serves the city of Carmel-by-the-Sea and the surrounding Monterey Peninsula, Carmel Valley and Big Sur region of Monterey County in central California. The paper is known for red-baiting.[3][4] It is a newspaper of record for Monterey County.[5]
History[edit]
The Carmel Pine Cone was founded in 1915 by William Overstreet who proclaimed in the first four-page edition of 300 copies, "we are here to stay!"[6] By 1924, the Pine Cone moved into the De Yoe Building, opposite of the Carmel Post Office.[7] Overstreet sold the paper in 1926 to J.A. Easton. The offices move to the Goold Building from 1970 to 2000.[8][9]
In 1926 writer and activist Perry Newberry was the editor of the Pine Cone and successfully ran for the office of city trustee.[10] Newberry was the paper's co-publisher until he sold it in 1935.[11]
Paul Miller bought the paper in 1997.[12] Miller, a former NBC bureau chief in Tel Aviv, paid $960,000 for the Pine Cone. At the time the paper was losing money and lost $100,000 the previous year.[13] Under Miller, the paper turned a profit and became known for using harsh language and edgy headlines. Editorial content was described by one Los Angeles Times reporter as a mix of hokey local features, aggressive news coverage and advocacy.[2]
The TV show 60 Minutes did a piece on the Pine Cone after the paper successfully registered a fake person to vote.[13] The segment aired on November 1, 1998.[12] The Pine Cone also got national attention after interviewing Clint Eastwood following his infamous "empty chair" speech at the 2012 Republican National Convention.[14]
In 2015, KSBW reported on the paper's centennial.[15]
