History
[edit]In September 1945, the Paradise Post was founded by Linn J. Potter as a weekly newspaper.[2] The business opened its own printing plant in March 1946.[3] It soon expanded to a twice weekly and in June 1946 was sold to Charles H. Comfort, an advertisement salesman and columnist at The Chico Record.[4]
In 2003, Lowell Blankfort and Rebele Rowland sold the Post to MediaNews Group. At that time the paper had a circulation of 8,000.[5]
