Yes, Print Lives: Forty years of Newspapering in Los Gatos and Silicon Valley

Forty years ago, as a 23-year-old recent graduate of UC Santa Cruz, Dan Pulcrano moved to Los Gatos, founded the Los Gatos Weekly and joined the Los Gatos Rotary Club.

Funded by community investors, the Los Gatos Weekly competed with the established Los Gatos Times-Observer—which he bought eight years later to create the Weekly-Times.

Dan also founded the free weekly Metro Silicon Valley, and has bought four other similar papers around the Bay Area, including Good Times in Santa Cruz and the East Bay Express. The publishing group, known as Weeklys, now owns more than 15 publications, including community newspapers in Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Scotts Valley, Watsonville and King City.

His newest publication is the Los Gatan, which began publishing in September.

He is married to his wife Juliana, and has three daughters.
