History

The newspaper was founded in September 1854 as the Des Arc Citizen. [1] In 1862 during the American Civil War, Union forces destroyed the Citizen's printing facilities; publication didn't resume until 1866. [1] The paper was purchased in 1885 by James J. Baugh, who moved operations to Searcy and renamed it the White County Citizen. [1] Ownership of the newspaper passed to Baugh's son-in-law, M.P. Jones Jr., in 1940. [1] The paper remained in the Jones family until it was sold to Harte-Hanks Communications in 1977. [1] It was later sold to Worrell Enterprises, which sold it to Paxton Media Group in 1991. [1]

The newspaper earned general excellence from the Arkansas Press Association [1] from 2011 to 2013,[ citation needed ] and the Associated Press awarded the newspaper general excellence and sweepstakes [1] in 2012 and 2013.[ citation needed ]
