Prince George Citizen

The Prince George Citizen is a weekly newspaper located in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada. It is owned by Cameron Stolz, a former city counciller, and his wife Terresa Randall-Stolz. In addition to Prince George, the Citizen also covers the outlying communities of Fort St. James, Fraser Lake, Mackenzie, McBride, Quesnel, and Vanderhoof, British Columbia. The Citizen was established in 1916 as a weekly newspaper and converted to daily publication in 1957. Issues from 1916–present are now available online in the Prince George Newspapers database, an ongoing collaborative library project. Along with several other small British Columbia dailies, the Prince George Citizen was one of the last Canadian properties to be held by Hollinger Inc., the media conglomerate owned by Conrad Black. Hollinger sold its remaining Canadian holdings to Vancouver-based Glacier Ventures International, later called Glacier Media, in 2006. In 2024, former Prince George City Councillor Cameron Stolz acquired the newspaper from Glacier Media to prevent its shutdown after it incurred a loss of $56,000 in 2023.
