In order to handle this, the Citizen had to switch to morning delivery and add a Saturday edition to provide results for Friday events and schedules for Saturday's events. The Citizen launched a sister newspaper, ''The Newton Citizen'', located in Covington, GA, in February 2000, and added a Sunday edition. In 2005, Gray spun off its newspapers as Triple Crown Media. The company was renamed Southern Community Newspapers in 2010.〔(Newspapers' parent company has new name )〕 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 Rockdale Citizen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
