The Pacific Daily News, formerly Guam Daily News, is an online newspaper based in Hagåtña, in the United States territory of Guam. It is owned by Kaleo Moylan.
In 1970, a group of purchasers headed by the Honolulu Star-Bulletin acquired the Guam Daily News for an undisclosed price.[2] The paper was renamed the Pacific Daily News the same year.[3] The Pacific Daily News was acquired by the Gannett Company in 1971, along with several other newspapers owned by Star-Bulletin.[4]
In February 2021, former lieutenant governor, senator, and local businessman Kaleo Moylan purchased the Pacific Daily News from subsidiaries of the Gannett Company. Moylan's acquisition of the Pacific Daily News returned the media company to local ownership after 50 years of ownership by Gannett.[5]
The newspaper suspended its Saturday and Sunday editions in January 2023. Its final print edition was published on March 31, 2023.[6] From now on, the publication will be online only.
