English-language newspaper for the U.S. city ofEl Paso, Texas . The paper was founded in1881 by Marcellus Washington Carrico. It originally started out as a weekly but within a year's time, it became the daily newspaper for thefrontier town.The newspaper has a daily circulation of 73,172 and 88,410 on Sundays. In December 2005, Gannett became a minority partner in the "El Paso Times," handing the majority of the partnership and management to Denver-based MediaNews.
The paper is currently the only English-language daily in El Paso, but often competes with the Spanish-language "
El Diario de El Paso ," an offshoot of "El Diario de Juárez ".Because of declining newspaper circulations nationwide, the "El Paso Times "has recently expanded its online capabilities and introduced continuous online updates.
