History

Original timeline

In Nora's original timeline, Iris founded The Central City Citizen in 2021.^[1]

Current timeline

In 2019, Iris founded her newspaper agency in the same building where Ralph Dibny has his detective office, a lawyer confirms her that the "Central City Citizen" is the only name not taken, so Iris had no other option than giving that name to her agency. Her husband, Barry and her daughter, Nora went to her office to congratulate her, and while Barry freaked finding out the name of the paper is the same one of the one in the time vault, Nora revealed that they were already changing the future; the newspaper had now been founded 2 years earlier than it had in the previous timeline.^[1]
