History

Fred. E. Weybret purchased the newspaper in 1956[1] and sold it three years later to Arther C. Youngberg.[2]

In 2000, Dick Reddick sold the paper to News Media Corporation.[3] The company sold the Paso Robles Press and Atascadero News in August 2019 to Nicholas and Hayley Mattson.[4]

The official headquarters moved downtown Atascadero in September 2019, to 5860 El Camino Real above the former Atascadero Market, a few doors down from the former Atascadero News location at 5660 El Camino Real location where it had spent more than 60 years (1949-2013).
