Today, the Youngstown Vindicator continues to provide daily county coverage as an edition operated by Ogden Newspapers. The local press landscape also includes community publications such as The Jambar, the student newspaper serving Youngstown State University, and Metro Monthly, a regional periodical focusing on news and lifestyle features.
