Whidbey News-Times

Whidbey News-Times is a twice-weekly (Wednesday and Saturday) newspaper published in Oak Harbor, Washington, United States covering general news on Whidbey Island. It is owned by Sound Publishing Inc., a subsidiary of Black Press. Its sister paper is the South Whidbey Record. Another sister paper, the Whidbey Examiner, was shuttered in 2017. The newspaper was formed from the 1959 merger of the Island County Times (founded in Coupeville in 1891) with the Oak Harbor News, and was acquired by Sound Publishing (then Whidbey Press) in 1987. The News-Times was published in Oak Harbor until 2010, when its operations were merged with those of the Record in Coupeville, Washington. It returned to Oak Harbor in 2020. ()
