Embarcadero Media was a publishing company for four decades whose titles included the Palo Alto Weekly, The Almanac of Menlo Park, the Mountain View Voice, the Pleasanton Weekly, The Six Fifty, and Palo Alto Online.
The company was founded as The Embarcadero Publishing Company in 1979 by William Johnson and was renamed Embarcadero Media in 2009. [1]
Johnson served as president and CEO until 2022, when he announced that he would retire and be succeeded by Adam Dawes, while remaining chairman of the board of directors.[2]
In November 2023, the company announced the establishment of a non-profit entity that would continue publishing the community weeklies. [3]
