EnglishHow to Find Local News and Sports on the Weirton Daily Times Website
Updated
The Weirton Daily Times site (weirtondailytimes.com) organizes its coverage into clearly labeled sections: Local News, Local Sports, Community, Business, and Editorials, plus a TRENDING block and a link to the e-edition ("View today's edition"). To find a specific story, start from the section label that matches your topic — local headlines sit under Local News, game results and prep coverage under Local Sports — and use the TRENDING list for the most current items.
Main sections and what each covers
| Section | What you'll find there |
|---|---|
| Local News | Area reporting such as hospital and health announcements, school district news, and court proceedings |
| Local Sports | High school and local team coverage, including match recaps and tournament results |
| Community | Events, school programs, senior group activities, and community donations |
| Business | Staffing changes, hospital service expansions, and short business briefs ("Quick takes") |
| Editorials | Opinion columns and political commentary |
The homepage also carries a TRENDING area that rotates a small set of current stories, and a poll question that changes with the news cycle.
Browsing the latest headlines
- Open the homepage and scan the TRENDING block first — it surfaces the stories the newsroom is currently prioritizing.
- Below it, the MORE Local News link expands the local news list beyond the initial headlines.
- Each section label (Community, Local Sports, Business, Editorials) opens that section's own feed if you want to browse rather than search.
Expected result: you land on a dated story page or a section list showing recent items in reverse chronological order.
Finding today's edition
The homepage includes a "View today's edition" link near the local news list. This is the entry point for the e-edition — the page-form version of the printed paper. If you need the paper as it appeared in print (page layout, legals, ads), use that link rather than the article pages.
What the coverage looks like in practice
Recent homepage items show the range: a WVU Medicine Weirton Medical Center story on robotic-assisted knee replacements, a Hancock County Schools shooter-alert system, a Brooke County Board of Education appointment, a Belmont County double-murder trial, a Toronto volleyball district semifinal sweep, and an Ohio House 96th District race preview. If your interest is hyperlocal — Weirton, Hancock County, Brooke County, or nearby Ohio communities — the Local News and Local Sports feeds are where those stories appear.
Common snags
- Section labels vs. story tags: the labels at the top of the page are broad; a story about a school event may appear under Community rather than Local News.
- Paywall or subscription prompts: the site links to a Subscribe page, so some content may require a subscription. The site does not state which articles are free, so check the article page itself before assuming access.
- E-edition vs. article pages: the "today's edition" link is separate from the news feed; if you can't find a print-only item (a legal notice, for example), look there rather than in the article list.
