TheNorth Coast Citizen is a biweekly newspaper inManzanita, Oregon.[1]
In late 1995, about 30 people attended a community meeting organized Judd Burrow at his Arbors Bed and Breakfast. The group met to discuss a lack of news coverage from theTillamook Headlight-Herald on the communities of Manzanita, Nehalem and Wheeler. Burrow proposed the creation of a newspaper for people living in northTillamook County.[2]
After that meeting, ten people helped create the first edition of theNorth Coast Citizen, which was published in April 1996. By then only six people were still involved in the paper. Dave Dillon served as the paper's first editor due to his writing experience. In 2003, Dillon sold the newspaper to Tom Mauldin and Cat Mauldin, who owned theCannon Beach Gazette.[2]
A year later the paper was sold again to Jan and Dave Fisher.[3] The couple ran it for three years until selling it in July 2007 to East Oregonian Publishing Company (nowEO Media Group).[4] Two years later the newspaper was expanded from tabloid size to broadsheet.[5] In June 2011, the company sold the paper toCountry Media, Inc.[6]
