MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN PENNSYLVANIA
Dating back to the colonial era, the local press tradition in this Mid-Atlantic commonwealth is defined by large metropolitan dailies anchoring opposite ends of the state. The Lenfest Institute-owned Philadelphia Inquirer dominates eastern circulation, tracing its roots to 1829. On the western side, the Block Communications-owned Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the conservative-leaning Tribune-Review serve the greater Pittsburgh area. Further east, Alden Global Capital operates the Morning Call for Allentown readers. Specialized publications also serve distinct communities, notably the historic African-American weekly Philadelphia Tribune and the Spanish-language news outlet Al Día.
