Historical Information
The Reston Times is one of two local newspapers that are circulated in the Reston area. The newspaper is privately owned by the Fairfax Times a company that also owns several newspapers in the Northern Virginia area. Some of those newspapers include the Annandale Times, Burke Times, Chantilly Times, Fairfax Times, Gainesville Times, Loudoun Times-Mirror, Springfield Times and several others.
The Fairfax Times was created in 1963, when the company founder, Arthur Arundel, purchased the 165-year-old Loudoun Times-Mirror in Leesburg, Virginia. The company is now run by his son, Peter Arundel, who worked in politics and CBS Newsradio before joining the family company. Since Peter Arundel has taken control the company has started or acquired newspapers in Fairfax, Culpeper and Prince William counties, launched the websites, founded the national advertising division and expanded print offerings to an annual calendar of over 50 niche publications.
Jim Kirby worked as a photographer for the Reston Times and lives in Reston, Virginia.
