Beginning Monday, the Sentinel will be printed in San Jose, where its new owner, the California Newspapers Partnership, also prints the Mercury News, the San Mateo Times and several other publications.
Since the paper moved from Monterey to Santa Cruz, there have been only two short stretches when it was not printed downtown. It was printed in Watsonville for a few days after the 1955 flood and in San Jose after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
Press play to watch video of the last press run and read the full story in Sunday’s Sentinel.
