Our
Background
The
service was founded in January, 1947 as the Western News Service.
The enterprise was conceived by Christian R. Holmes of Hawaii and
Earl G. Waters of San Jose, Calif. when they were in the U.S. Marine
Corps in Korea.
Veteran
Sacramento journalist Henry C. MacArthur joined the company shortly
after it began operations, and bought it in 1952, changing the
name to Capitol News Service. It has been successively owned by
others, and has been under the ownership of the Metropolitan News
Company since September 30, 1993.
