The San Jose Mercury was established in 1851 as the San Jose Weekly Visitor, while the San Jose News was established in 1883. In 1942 the Mercury bought the News and carried on publishing both newspapers, with the Mercury as the morning paper and the News as the evening paper. In 1983 the papers were combined into the San Jose Mercury News, with morning and afternoon editions.
