''The Citizen'' is a six-day-a-week, morning daily newspaper in Laconia, New Hampshire, USA, the largest local paper serving the Lakes Region of that state. It has been owned since 2010 by Sample News Group of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, managed by Eagle Printing & Publishing of Claremont, New Hampshire. == History == ''The Citizen'' was formerly an afternoon paper called the ''Laconia Evening Citizen''. It was owned by Lawrence J. Smith and Alma Gallagher Smith until the Geo. J. Foster Company took over, May 10, 1991.〔"Alma Gallagher Smith, Laconia Newspaper Publisher." Obituary. ''The Boston Globe'', October 16, 1991.〕 Foster was the publisher of ''Foster's Daily Democrat'' in Dover, New Hampshire until 2013 when Gatehouse Media purchased the newspaper. In the late 1990s, the Foster Company launched ''Foster's Sunday Citizen'' as a joint venture by ''Foster's Daily Democrat'' and ''The Citizen'', neither of which previously had a Sunday edition.〔Kittredge, Clare. "A News War Takes Shape in Portsmouth". ''The Boston Globe'', November 2, 1997〕 In November 2006, ''The Citizen'' converted to morning publication; its sister paper in Dover followed a year later.〔"Foster's N.H. Daily Switching to A.M." ''NEPA Bulletin'' (Boston, Mass.), page 2, October 2007.〕 The company made the change in order to compete with nearby papers such as the ''New Hampshire Union Leader'' and the ''Concord Monitor''. The Foster Company announced on June 23, 2010, that it would sell the paper on June 26, in order to concentrate on their main property, ''Foster's Daily Democrat''. The company said it would continue to print ''The Citizen'' and the Laconia edition of the ''Sunday Citizen'' at its presses for at least the next three months. The new owner was Sample News Group, publisher of several newspapers across the northeastern United States. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Citizen (Laconia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
