The Bulldog
In the early days of journalism, the first edition of the newspaper was called the bulldog. The name is believed to have come from the fact that competing newspapers were fighting for readers "like bulldogs." The bulldog edition was even mentioned in the classic movie Citizen Kane. Citizen editorial board member Ken Gray strives to bring back the spirit of the bulldog in his blog of news and commentary.
