The Cushing Citizen began in 1895. Through the years the community's newspaper has had numerous owners including O.H. and Hattie Mae Lauchenmeyer. The paper has been weekly, daily and is now twice weekly published by David and Myra Reid who moved to Cushing in 1992 when they purchased the Cushing Daily Citizen from Francis Stipe. The Reids sold the newspaper to CNHI in 1997 and purchased the paper again from CNHI in October of 2007. The paper began immediately rebuilding circulation, which has more than doubled since the Reid's repurchased the company.
