Print media

In addition to the major English-language newspapers, the daily San Jose Mercury News and the weekly alternative Metro Silicon Valley, San Jose is served by a variety of other local print media. The publisher of the Mercury News, Knight Ridder, also publishes the daily Nuevo Mundo, serving San Jose's large Hispanic community along with other Spanish-speaking residents, and Viet Mercury, serving San Jose's large Vietnamese community. The bilingual weeklies La Oferta and El-Observador have articles and advertisements in both English and Spanish. The glossy, monthly San Jose Magazine focuses more on the people and culture of San Jose than on "hard news", but has won awards for its news coverage from the Bay Area's most prestigious media organization, the Peninsula Press Club.
