Now called THE VENTURA COUNTY STAR (Marked online as VC Star) is a daily newspaper published in Camarillo, California and serves all of Ventura County. It is owned by Gannett, the largest publisher of newspapers in the United States. It is a successor to a number of daily newspapers published around Ventura County during the 20th century.
THE VENTURA COUNTY STAR was founded in 1925 by the John P. Scripps Newspaper Group, which merged with E. W. Scripps in 1986. Around 1936, the Star acquired the Ventura Free Press (which itself was founded in 1875), and began publishing as the VENTURA COUNTY STAR FREE PRESS in 1938; the name was kept till November 1994.
