MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN WILKES-BARRE

For decades, the local print media market has been defined by a rare and enduring rivalry between two competing daily publications born from a historic labor dispute. The Times Leader operates as a longstanding paper providing regional news coverage across Luzerne County. It is directly challenged by the Citizens Voice, a daily tabloid famously established in 1978 by striking newspaper workers. Additionally, the collegiate press is represented by the Wilkes University Beacon, a student-run publication covering campus life. Paperboy lists 3 newspapers in Wilkes-Barre.
