Boulder's main daily newspaper, the "Daily Camera", was founded in 1890 as the weekly "Boulder Camera", and became a daily newspaper the following year. The "Colorado Daily" was started in 1892 as a university newspaper for CU Boulder. Following many heated controversies over "Colorado Daily"'s political coverage, it severed its ties to the university in 1971. In summer 1996, the "Boulder Planet", a free weekly competing with the "Boulder Weekly", published its first issue; it ceased publication in February 2000. Newspaper conglomerate Scripps acquired the "Colorado Daily" in 2005 after its acquisition of the "Camera" in 1997, leaving the "Boulder Weekly" as the only locally owned newspaper in Boulder. Scripps relinquished its 50 percent ownership in both daily papers in early 2009 to Media News Group. "Boulder Magazine", a lifestyle magazine, was founded in 1978. "Boulder Magazine" is published three times per year.
