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.
