Шаблон:Infobox newspaper The Braxton Citizens' News is a weekly newspaper serving the Sutton, West Virginia area in the United States.[1] It is published each Friday.[2]

History

The Braxton Citizens' News began in 1976 under publisher Edward R. Given.[3] Given, a former advertising manager for the Braxton Democrat, founded the paper to focus more on school and sports news.[4] Given has served as a director of the West Virginia Press Association.[5][6] Given also served as mayor of Sutton in the 1990s; he shared a similar name with his successor, Edgar G. Given.[7][8][9][10][11]

The offices of the Braxton Democrat-Central were gutted by a fire in 2006. Under Given's leadership, the Citizens' News offered extensive aid to the rival paper, to help ensure they could continue publishing. Given and Democrat-Central publisher Craig Smith have an enduring personal and professional friendship, and have served as sources for one another's sources.[12]

Given won the top state press award for an individual journalist in 2013, being named the "Adam R. Kelly Premier Journalist of the Year."[13][9]

In 2015, the Citizens' News became the first affiliate to join the WVJobFinder web site launched by Charleston Newspapers, and expressed excitement about the prospect of statewide job recruitment through the site.[14]
