history
The Citizen was founded as a weekly newspaper in 1870 and was converted into a daily newspaper in 1885. The writers Thomas Wolfe , O. Henry , both buried in Asheville, and F. Scott Fitzgerald , a frequent visitor to the city of Asheville, could often be found in the newsroom in the early days of the paper. The Citizen and The Times , first established in 1896 as the Asheville Gazette , have been owned by the same owner since 1930 . The Asheville Gazette merged with a short-lived rival, the Asheville Evening News , and has since been called the Asheville Gazette-News . It was later renamed The Asheville Times by new owner Charles A. Webb . 1986 twelve million US dollars were in offset - presses invested and a new, an area of 4100 square meters comprehensive production facility near Enka, where the 14 km from the remote building has been compiled in downtown Asheville electronic pages transmitted. In April 1997, Citizen-Times became the first daily newspaper in western North Carolina to launch a website that currently receives tens of thousands of hits per day. In February 2011, the online editors changed the format of the website so that the current articles can only be accessed by subscribers to the paper edition and only the articles from the previous day are visible to other readers as current articles on the Internet. Other changes concerned the blocking of numerous online comments.
In 2009 the printing press was shut down and sold as scrap metal. Since then, the Citizen-Times has been printed in Greenville , South Carolina with The Greenville News and sent to a distribution center.
