The Mendocino Beacon is a weekly newspaper for the community of Mendocino, California, owned by MediaNews Group.^[3]

History

The Mendocino Beacon was founded on October 6, 1877 by W. H. Meacham and William Heeser,^[4]^[5]^[6]^[6] an immigrant from Germany who also founded the Fort Bragg Advocate-News and three other local newspapers in Kibesillah, Rockport, and Westport.^[7] It succeeded the Star, a local newspaper that had been founded previously by M. J. C. Galvin.^[6] In an 1878 catalog of North American newspapers the Beacon was advertised as "an independent and vigorous weekly journal, published at a point of rising importance as a place of shipping and trade."^[8] From 1975 to 1977 it was published under an alternative name, the Mendocino Coast Beacon.^[9]

In 2000, the newspaper offices moved from Mendocino to Fort Bragg, ten miles north of Mendocino, and consolidated with the offices of the Fort Bragg Advocate-News.^[10]

Recognition

In the 2009 California Newspaper Publishers Association's "Better Newspaper Contest", the Mendocino Beacon won first place in its circulation category for a business/financial story, for a story on Heritage House by Frank Hartzell.^[11] It has also won similar awards in previous years.^[12]^[13]^[14]^[15]
