The Appeal-Democrat is a broadsheet newspaper published five days a week in Marysville, California, United States and covering Yuba and Sutter counties. The paper also is sold in Colusa County to the west and Butte County to the north.
The Appeal-Democrat formed from the 1926 merger of two earlier newspapers, the Marysville Appeal (founded in 1860) and the Marysville Evening Democrat (founded in 1884). [1]
R.C. Hoiles, who built the Freedom Communications newspaper chain around the Santa Ana paper that became the Orange County Register , bought the Appeal-Democrat in 1946 [1] and placed his son-in-law Robert C. Hardie in charge as its publisher. Hardie directed the paper for the next 55 years, as circulation rose from about 7,500 to more than 20,000. Even as residents and businesses gradually shifted west from Marysville to nearby Yuba City, Hardie kept the Appeal-Democrat in its longtime home, twice acquiring new headquarters there (in 1950 and 1986).
In 2013, Freedom sold the Appeal-Democrat to Vista California, a subsidiary of Horizon Publications. [1] [2] At that time, it had a daily circulation of approximately 16,300. [3] In 2020, the paper reduced publication to five days a week; circulation fell to 4,500 during the 2020s. As of 2024 [update] the Appeal-Democrat has four reporters; Robert Summa became the editor in 2021 [4] and resigned in 2024. [5] Stefan Sabich has been the publisher since 2023. [6]
The Appeal-Democrat also publishes the Colusa County Sun-Herald, the Corning Observer, and the Glenn County Transcript.
