The Press Democrat is a daily newspaper published in Santa Rosa, California. It has the largest circulation in California's North Bay.
The newspaper was started in 1897 by Ernest L. Finley. He combined Evening Press and Thomas Thompson's Sonoma Democrat (originally created as a voice for the Democratic Party). Finley also bought the Santa Rosa Republican in 1927 and brought it together with the Press Democrat in 1948.
