The Anniston Star
''The Anniston Star'' is the daily newspaper serving Anniston, Alabama, and the surrounding six-county region. Average Sunday circulation in September 2004 was 26,747. However, by 2020 it was approximately half of this. The newspaper is locally owned by Consolidated Publishing Company, which is controlled by the Ayers family of Anniston. As of 2020, the paper operated as a "digital-first" publication, and was putting out only three print editions each week. History The paper was first published in 1883 as the ''Anniston Evening Star.'' It traces its modern history to 1911, when managing editor Col. Harry M.

By 1912, the ''Hot Blast'' had become Anniston's largest newspaper, and was more than large enough to absorb the ''Evening Star''. Although the merged paper was initially called the ''Anniston Hot Blast and Evening Star'', the ''Hot Blast'' name was eventually dropped. The ...
