Los Angeles Daily News - Los Angeles metropolitan area (San Fernando Valley) and Northern Los Angeles County.Press-Telegram - Long Beach serving the greater Long Beach area.Inland Valley Daily Bulletin - Pomona Valley and Ontario originally were two separate papers: the Pomona Progress-Bulletin and the Ontario Daily Report (merged in April 1990) (acquired in 1999 from Donrey).Daily Breeze - Torrance and the South Bay (acquired from the San Diego-based Copley Press in 2007).Some have stated that the former Freedom Communications' distinctive conservative- libertarian editorial voice may be lost in the process. The newspapers also share editorials and speak as one voice on regional issues. The newspapers share coverage and printing presses, with a central copy editing and design desk, and staff writers file the same stories for all members of the group, including sharing sports beat writers, which has caused controversy. The newspapers contain some national and international news, often from the Associated Press. The news coverage of the newspapers are mainly local and state stories, including Los Angeles area news provided by City News Service. Reports from former Freedom Communications writers began appearing in other SCNG newspapers, and vice versa, the next day. Thus, LANG was renamed Southern California News Group. On March 21, 2016, a bankruptcy judge approved the sale of Freedom Communications and its two major newspapers, the Orange County Register and the Riverside Press-Enterprise to Digital First Media. Finally, in 2006, LANG acquired the Daily Breeze serving the South Bay area of Los Angeles County from Copley Press. In 1999, LANG acquired three newspapers in the Inland Empire - the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin serving the Pomona Valley/Ontario area and Redlands Daily Facts from Donrey Media, and The San Bernardino Sun from Gannett. Subsequently, in 1997 the Long Beach Press-Telegram was purchased from Knight-Ridder and in 1998 the Los Angeles Daily News was purchased from Jack Kent Cooke, and the organization was renamed the Los Angeles News Group (LANG). Thomson had already operated all three newspapers as a unit, sharing news and sports sections among the three papers (which cover geographically adjacent territories) with different story placement based on the region being served. SGVN began when MediaNews Group purchased the Pasadena Star-News, San Gabriel Valley Tribune, and Whittier Daily News from Thomson Corporation in 1996. Originally named the San Gabriel Valley News Group (SGVN), the organization was formed as an umbrella name for MediaNews Group-operated newspapers in the Los Angeles area. The Southern California News Group (SCNG), formerly the San Gabriel Valley News Group and the Los Angeles News Group, is an umbrella group of local daily newspapers published in the greater Los Angeles area by Digital First Media, which is owned by the hedge fund Alden Global Capital.
