Sadly, the Citizen family of newspapers must announce its permanent closure. After 45 years of publishing this family-run newspaper, circumstances have overcome the ability of both the Brunswick and Valley Citizen newspapers to continue publication.

Covering Brunswick, Knoxville, Rosemont, Jefferson, Burkittsville, Point of Rocks, Lovettsville, and Pleasant Valley since 1974.

• The Valley Citizen
