The Asheville Citizen-Times is a Gannett newspaper. Founded in 1870 as a weekly, the Citizen-Times became a daily newspaper in 1885. Writers Thomas Wolfe, O. Henry, both buried in Asheville, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, a common visitor of Asheville, frequently could be found in the newsroom in earlier days. In 1986, $12 million was invested in offset printing presses and a new 44,000 square-foot production building in nearby Enka, with composed pages transmitted electronically from the downtown Asheville building located nine miles away. In April 1997, the Citizen-Times became the first daily newspaper in Western North Carolina to launch a website; the site now receives tens of thousands of hits a day. The Citizen-Times currently has approximately 300 employees.
