History

The newspaper was founded on August 31, 1972, originally as the ''Ithaca New Times''. In late 1977, the ''Ithaca New Times'' merged with the ''Good Times Gazette'', which had been founded in 1973, to form the ''Ithaca Times''. The first issue of the newly renamed paper was published for June 22/28, 1978, with volume and issue numbers both resetting to 1. In May 2025, publisher Jim Bilinski retired and ownership was transferred to a newly created nonprofit called Pathways to Equity.
