The Citizen is a weekly newspaper serving Charlotte, Vermont and Hinesburg, Vermont. It is published every Thursday and has a circulation of 4,500.[2][3]

## History

[edit]

The newspaper was established in 2006 as the Charlotte Citizen, but changed its name to The Citizen in 2011 to accommodate its expansion into neighboring Hinesburg, Vermont.[citation needed]

The paper was part of Wind Ridge Publishing, owned by Holly Johnson.[4] In 2015, Wind Ridge Publishing, which owned The Citizen and Shelburne News, moved its printing operations to Vermont.[5]

In 2017, the Citizen was purchased by the Stowe Reporter Group, under publisher Greg Popa.[6] In January 2019, the Stowe Reporter Group was renamed Vermont Community Newspaper Group.[7]
