The media market is heavily dominated by the Gannett-owned Arizona Republic in Phoenix, which boasts the highest circulation in the region. Further south, the Arizona Daily Star, operated by Lee Enterprises, serves as Tucson's primary daily record, while the Lee-owned Arizona Daily Sun covers the northern communities surrounding Flagstaff.
