Arcadia News

The journey of Arcadia News began with a husband and wife team who aimed to deliver community news to the residents of Arcadia. In May 1993, they printed and distributed the inaugural edition, which consisted of 5,000 copies to local homes. Although the first issue was only 16 pages long, it was challenging to fill all the space. A few paying advertisers and creative use of larger fonts and double-spacing helped fill the pages, but it was clear that Arcadia News had potential for expansion.
