While the paper changed hands a number of times after 1842, the largest change occurred in 1909 by Charles Manship and his new company called the Capital City Press. A new paper was published in 1925 that focused on national news. Manship and his family became very influential in Baton Rouge as they continued to grow, branching out into other media outlets such as WBRZ-TV.
