Brief history

The Pulaski News began in 1938 and became the community paper in 1939 when the community paper, the Pulaski Tricopa, went out of business. [3] [4] The superintendent of the schools, Frank X. Joswick, suggested that the school take over the community paper when it went bankrupt. [5]

Then, in 1942, students at Pulaski High School turned the school newspaper, Pulaski High News, into the Pulaski News, and students began reporting on news from the community. [1] [6] The paper is run by the school, but available to the entire community. [2] The Pulaski News has done so well, that in 1964, the closest weekly paper offered to buy the subscription list from them, though the Pulaski News declined the offer. [7]

Development

The Pulaski News began as a four-page tabloid, published fortnightly. It later became a weekly publication of eight pages. Beginning with only a handful of subscribers, by 1958 there were 2,000 subscribers. By 1998, more than 60 years later, the newspaper has a circulation of over 3,000 and a budget of $68,000. [5] Today the paper is published every other Thursday. [8]
