Newspapers
The first newspaper was Ka Lama Hawaii, printed by the students of Lorrin Andrews in 1834.
Honolulu is served by one daily Newspaper, The Honolulu Star-Advertiser, owned by Black Press of British Columbia in Canada. The Star-Advertiser began publishing on June 7, 2010 after Black Press merged Honolulu's two daily newspapers, The Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. The Star-Bulletin was the primary competitor to the Advertiser until it scaled back statewide distribution. In 2010 Gannett Company sold the Advertiser to Black Press. The merger was due to a failure to find a buyer for the Star-Bulletin, which had been losing money and subscribers since the two broke off their joint operation agreement in 2001.
Maui is served by The Maui News, which is owned by Ogden Newspapers Inc.. Maui's independent weekly newspaper is Maui Time Weekly. Other locally published newspapers are available to residents of the various islands, such as the Hawaii Tribune-Herald in Hilo and West Hawaii Today in Kailua-Kona, both on The Big Island, and The Garden Island, based in Lihue on Kauai.
The Hawaii business community is served by the Pacific Business News and Hawaii Business Magazine. The largest religious community in Hawaii is served by the Hawaii Catholic Herald.
