Silicon Valley Community Newspapers has launched its ninth weekly newspaper, the West San Jose Resident, a 12,000-circulation paper delivered to homes and also available at community centers and branch libraries, according to a report in the co-owned Mercury News. Both the Merc and Silicon Valley Community Newspapers are owned by Dean Singleton’s MediaNews Group. Publisher David Cohen said The Resident is edited by Lisa Sibley, the chain’s director of editorial projects, and focuses on neighborhood issues and coverage of City Hall.
