MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN KANSAS
Pioneer settlement patterns and a pronounced rural-urban divide established the foundation of print journalism across the Sunflower State. The McClatchy-owned Wichita Eagle stands as the primary metropolitan daily serving the southern and central regions. To the northeast, the Topeka Capital-Journal, a Gannett publication, covers the capital region, while the historic Lawrence Journal-World maintains a daily print presence in its university city. The Hutchinson News, historically influential in regional agricultural reporting, operates as another key Gannett property. Serving African-American readers statewide, The Community Voice publishes out of Wichita as a prominent biweekly alternative. Paperboy indexes 65 Kansas newspapers — browse the full directory below.
