The ''Citizens' Voice'' is a compact newspaper published daily in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Its 2005 circulation was 32,862, mostly 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 of that year, the ''Citizens' Voice'' was initially a "strike newspaper" published by the local Newspaper Guild, but quickly grew to become 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 newspaper 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 and 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. == External links == * (Citizens' Voice ) * (Background information from Times-Shamrock ) * (GCIU/IBT Local #137c ) 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 Citizens' Voice」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
