Description

Excerpted from Wikipedia [Link] ...
"The Citizens' Voice is a tabloid newspaper published daily in
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Its 2005 circulation was 32,862,
which is mostly comprised of Luzerne County residents.

The newspaper was founded in 1978 by striking employees of
the Wilkes-Barre Publishing Company, which published the
Times Leader. Established on October 9, 1978, the Citizens'
Voice was initially a "strike newspaper" published by the local
Newspaper Guild, but quickly grew to became a direct competitor
to the Times Leader.

After 11 years, the Newspaper Guild turned control of the Citizens'
Voice over to the original striking employees. The Citizens' Voice,
Inc., was formed to manage the newspaper.

The Citizens' Voice added a Sunday edition in 1993.

In 2000, the paper was sold to Scranton-based Times-Shamrock
Communications. That year, the company formed the Northeast
Pennsylvania News Alliance, a news-sharing agreement between
Times-Shamrock's newspapers and several local radio & TV stations.

Several of the original strikers from 1978 still work for the newspaper.

The Citizens' Voice is the oldest newspaper formed by striking
workers in the nation."
