Everyone has two names from a PREVIOUS round of consolidation when evening papers merged with the morning papers. In SoCal, LA used to have the Herald-Examiner, Long Beach still has the Press-Telegram and Pasadena has the Star-News. Same story everywhere. I'm sure at some point, these companies will end up creating the Daily Times News Journal. Dean Singleton is already talking about creating one desk overseas for all his papers. We should tell him that we've got a name!

Working at the National Scholastic Press Association, a membership association for student publications, I've often wondered what such a list would look like for the names of high school newspapers. The tools you used were so easy, I couldn't resist making one myself:
