TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY CONSERVATIVE MONTHLY NEWSPAPER "THE CITIZEN" STARTS PUBLICATION THIS WEEK!!!



Kansas City Conservatives and Centre-right politicos are soon to get their own dead tree media news source.

THANKS TO AWESOME TKC TIPSTERS WE KNOW THAT "THE CITIZEN" IS GOING TO START PUBLISHING NEXT WEEK!!!

The print aspect of the new venture is interesting and makes the organization stand out a bit among all the local websites that come and go.

The name of the paper is kind of hokey but it at least offers a good preview as to their tone. Check their website at kc.citizen-publications.com. The site should go live the evening of 1/31; right now the publication is simply using a placeholder.

The group has been making waves online and they have a facebook group of a little more than 350.

In their own words, here's how the paper describes itself along with a full front page preview after the jump:

Citizen Publications

Our mission

The Citizen provides news, opinion and a voice for readers committed to liberty and freedom.

* We are a much-needed balance to the regional media landscape and a provocateur. We are not passive — nor should you be.

* We think for ourselves and understand that independence carries responsibility — to help create a more educated, more active civic conversation. We want our readers to read, to learn, and, ultimately, to act.

* Finally, we report using all the facts available, but we don’t stop there. We intend to motivate our readers and our elected officials to action. We are in this to change things.

So, what is The Citizen?

We're a new monthly newspaper for the Kansas City metro area. We're planning our first issue in February, but you can have a peek right now.

Are we biased? Yes -- just like every other newspaper and magazine. Are we different? Yes -- because we're not afraid to admit that things like a love of freedom and a belief in personal responsibility matter, and they inform what we choose to cover.

We'll be free to readers and ad-supported

  1. It would make more sense for a conservative paper to be called "The CORPORATION", but this is in keeping with the GOP passing itself off since Reagan as a sheep in wolf's clothing.

    I added the 9-11 conspiracy site I noticed someplace to my politics page, and aside from all this JFK assassination, fluoridation and international bankers paranoia, was this great quotation at the top:

    "Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance." ~ H. L. Mencken

  4. I think that as shitty a job of political reporting as the KC Star and ALL local newspapers in this torn have done, we could use a new paper - maybe someone will have the desire to call Bullshit, rather than cower or be a blowhorn (Tony).

  5. KC Star sucks as a newspaper. It's one sided stories are politically lop sided.

  6. Does anyone read the Star any more?

  7. Voter ID is an irrelevant issue, until we start require the same thing of a sitting president.

  8. KC should have at least two major newspapers to avoid media monopoly

  9. I really doubt this is going to be a "major" newspaper by publishing only once a month.

  10. Radioman, you surely are smarter than that lead post suggests. If anybody is in bed with major corporations, check out the current residents of the White House. Immelt and the corruption of a once-great company at GE is only the latest example.

    Then again, if you can refer to K-State as "Cow College" I guess you know of what you speak when you reference "individual ignorance" . . .
