MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN OKLAHOMA
Print media in the Sooner State is defined by a distinct split between two dominant metropolitan dailies and a broad network of small-town rural publications. The Gannett-owned daily The Oklahoman maintains the largest statewide circulation from Oklahoma City, countered by the Tulsa World, a Lee Enterprises property. Beyond these primary metros, regional centers rely on established local dailies like the CNHI-owned Ada News and the Bartlesville Examiner Enterprise. The area also sustains a historic Indigenous press, notable for publications like the Cherokee Phoenix, alongside alternative weeklies including the Oklahoma Gazette.
