Noozhawk is an online newspaper that provides coverage for Santa Barbara County, California.[1] While initially focused on the greater Santa Barbara area, Noozhawk expanded its coverage to the northern part of the county in the summer of 2014.[1] It gained further potential audience with the July 2023 bankruptcy of the Santa Barbara News-Press.[2][3]
History[edit]
In 2012, Noozhawk celebrated its 5th anniversary and hired Tom Bolton, a former reporter and editor with the Santa Barbara News-Press and Santa Maria Times, to be executive editor.[4] By the first quarter of 2020, the website was averaging more than 1.8 million page views per month, according to Quantcast.
