The Carmel Pine Cone is a small weekly Californian newspaper.[1] 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.[2][3] Despite not having a digital presence, a PDF of the printed newspaper is available weekly online. The Pine Cone celebrated its centennial edition in February 2015.
History
[edit]The 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!"[4] By 1924, the Pine Cone moved into the De Yoe Building, opposite of the Carmel Post Office.[5] Overstreet sold the paper in 1926 to J.A. Easton. The offices move to the Goold Building from 1970 to 2000.[6][7]
In 1926 writer and activist Perry Newberry was the editor of the Pine Cone and successfully ran for the office of city trustee, the equivalent of mayor.[8] Newberry was the paper's co-publisher until he sold it in 1935.[9].
Awards
[edit]Every year, the paper gives Golden Pine Cone awards to local organizations, businesses, and individuals in categories related to arts, recreation, and dining.[10]
