Weekly newspaper chain moves into Milwaukee County

The Business Journal of Milwaukee reported
A new weekly newspaper, the Franklin Citizen, made its debut May 18, in part trying to take advantage of the shrinking presence of Community Newspapers Inc.

The Franklin CNI paper had been consolidated with papers for several other southern suburbs. The amount of Franklin coverage seemed disproportionately small, considering its population. Around the same time they did launch web sites for each suburb, ours being Franklin Now.
The Franklin Citizen is published by Southern Lakes Newspapers, Burlington, which publishes 15 weekly publications in Walworth, Racine and Kenosha counties.

No online version yet.

Two print weeklies for one suburb is something of a luxury these days. We'll see if it lasts.
