Jenkins and Daniel Duggan started a community weekly newspaper called the "Central City News" in 2005. In 2006, they started the "Zachary Post". In 2007, Duggan's company acquired the "South Baton Rouge Journal". Jenkins served as editor of all three papers. In 2008, Duggan and Jenkins dissolved their partnership, with Duggan assuming ownership of the "Zachary Post" and Jenkins ownership of the "Central City News". The "South Baton Rouge Journal" suspended publication. In 2012, Jenkins resumed the "South Baton Rouge Journal" under a new name, the "Capital City News". In 2010, the Louisiana Press Association awarded the "Central City News" first place in the state for General Excellence and in 2011, the LPA awarded Jenkins its Freedom of Information Award.
