Good morning, Santa Barbara ☀️

How are you handling the heat? Santa Barbara hit the high 80s on Tuesday!

Our newsroom is also heating up this week with several big stories.

  • Julianna Lozada has all the details on the mid-week heat wave. (Hint: air conditioning is a good thing.)
  • See Melinda Burns’ gripping piece on the fall and rise of the News-Press.
  • And everyone’s favorite mustachioed newsman, John Palminteri, was named the grand marshall of Fiesta!😊

☔️ Steve Ainsley is among those considered royalty in the history of News-Press publishers. His departure on July 15, 1999, made the front page. Ainsley left his job at the News-Press to become senior vice president of The New York Times Regional Newspaper Group.
