The Warner Robins Patriot is a newspaper in Warner Robins, Georgia. [1] It is published each day on the Internet and in print on Wednesdays, and distributed by subscription and free distribution to approximately 20,000 households in Warner Robins and Centerville.

The paper was established in August 2009, by Georgia Eagle Media, Inc., owner of 15 radio stations in Georgia including WNNG 1350 AM, WDXQ-FM 107.5 FM, and WNNG-FM ESPN 99.9 FM. The paper was launched with support of local business, civic, and politic leaders who were frustrated at the fact that Warner Robins, now the 8th largest city in Georgia, lacked its own newspaper.[ citation needed ] For many years Warner Robins had a local paper, The Sun, which was purchased by the Macon newspaper The Telegraph and reduced to a once a week section in the paper several years ago.

Cecil Staton, president of Georgia Eagle, serves as publisher of the paper.

In November, 2009, in anticipation of future growth, Georgia Eagle broke ground for a news building addition that will house the paper staff.[ citation needed ]

Mass media in the United States Types of media in the United States of America

Mass media in the United States consist of several types of media: television, radio, cinema, newspapers, magazines, and web sites. The U.S. also has a strong music industry. Many of the media are controlled by large for-profit corporations who reap revenue from advertising, subscriptions, and sale of copyrighted material. American media conglomerates tend to be leading global players, generating large revenues as well as large opposition in many parts of the world. With the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, further deregulation and convergence are under way, leading to mega-mergers, further concentration of media ownership, and the emergence of multinational media conglomerates. These mergers enable tighter control of information. Currently, five corporations control roughly 90% of the media. Critics allege that localism, local news and other content at the community level, media spending and coverage of news, and diversity of ownership and views have suffered as a result of these processes of media concentration.
