First published in 1851, the "Mercury News" is the last remaining English-language daily newspaper covering the Santa Clara Valley. It became the "Mercury News" in 1983 after a series of mergers. During much of the 20th century, it was owned by Knight Ridder. Because of its location in Silicon Valley, the "Mercury News" has covered many of the key events in the history of computing, and was a pioneer in delivering news online. It was the first American newspaper to publish in three languages (English, Spanish, and Vietnamese).
