The Carroll County Times
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Carroll County Times was founded on October 6, 1911, as The Times. Owner and publisher George Mather, whose father owned the once-prominent Mather's Department Store in Westminster, MD, sold The Times in 1947. The Times expanded and became the Carroll County Times in 1956.
The Carroll County Times changed hands several times over the next twenty years. Among its owners, in the mid-1960s, were Dr. Edgar Berman (who worked with Albert Schweitzer in Africa and was later Hubert Humphrey's personal physician) and his wife Phoebe (a former real estate executive). It was a twice weekly paper when purchased by current owners Landmark Community Newspapers, a subsidiary of Landmark Communications, in 1974. The paper began publishing five days a week in 1980. Not long after, in 1987, the Times began publishing seven days a week and added home delivery.
In addition to the Carroll County Times, Landmark Community Newspapers of Maryland produces a number of niche publications including The Community Times, The Advocate of Westminster and Finksburg, The Advocate of Eldersburg and Syesville, Carroll Families, Carroll Seniors, Purchasing Power, and Homes Magazines, the print version of homes-online.com, serving Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and South Central Pennsylvania.
Critics call it the Carroll County Slimes.
