The Arizona Capitol Times is a non-partisan, weekly newspaper covering state politics and government published every Friday in Phoenix, Arizona. The paper focuses on the Arizona Legislature, the state's politicians, government agencies and elected leadership.〔(Arizona Capitol Times )〕 ==History== Arizona News Service, which publishes the ''Arizona Capitol Times'', was founded by Ned Creighton in 1906 before Arizona became a state. The operation was run and expanded by his son Robert until 1970, when Robert's son, also Ned, assumed control of the business.〔Don Harris, "(A century of service — Arizona News Service covers the Capitol, and always has )," ''Arizona Capitol Times'', January 26, 2007. Retrieved 2008-11-17.〕 During the first four decades, the elder Ned Creighton ran Arizona News Service out of various buildings in downtown Phoenix, Ariz. In 1946, Robert Creighton convinced his father, who he had worked with during World War II, to jointly purchase a newspaper then called ''The Messenger'', which was founded in 1900. They each chipped in $750 so they could buy the paper for $1,500. In 1959, the name of the paper was changed from ''The Messenger'' to ''The Arizona Legislative Review'' to better reflect its content. During that time, the newspaper was largely a recital of bills in the Arizona Legislature and occasional news stories about Arizona politics. With the hiring of a reporter, the publication began to evolve in the late 1950s and 1960s. It started including more news stories and going beyond just functioning as a paper of record. In 1982, ''The Arizona Legislative Review'' was renamed ''Arizona Capitol Times''. During the early 1980s, Creighton's wife Diana joined the newspaper. She read and rewrote short versions of Arizona Attorney General opinions and developed an old-photograph feature - Times Past - that continues today. It is one of the paper's most popular features. In 2005, Arizona News Service, which includes the ''Arizona Capitol Times'', was purchased by Minneapolis-based Dolan Media Company, Inc. (Now known as The Dolan Company) (NYSE:DM).〔("Dolan Media Acquires Print, Electronic Arizona News Service" ), April 28, 2005, Dolan Media, Inc.
