Recent reviews

The Citizen Newspaper had been a long time, reliable source of reported information for Auburn NY and is literally the voice of Auburn. There is no media that equals the representation of our small town! Thank you for your devotion to the “Citizens” of Auburn.

It’s frustrating not to see local high school sports on the sports page. EVERY day there is an article regarding The Bills. I also do not like the reading format. It is not like reading a physical newspaper.
