How to Stay Updated With the Wilkes-Barre Citizens' Voice

Updated

The Wilkes-Barre Citizens' Voice offers three practical ways to keep up with its coverage of Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, and the Wyoming Valley: an email newsletter sign-up, a subscription option referenced on the site, and browsing its regularly updated headline sections. The newsletter is the lowest-effort choice if you mainly want updates pushed to you; browsing is best if you only check in occasionally.

Sign up for the email newsletter

The site includes a newsletter sign-up prompt near its Latest Headlines section, labeled "Sign up for email newsletters."

  • What you need: an email address you check regularly.
  • What to do: use the sign-up prompt on the homepage and follow the steps it presents.
  • What to expect: periodic email updates from the publication. The site does not spell out frequency or topic options in the available material, so treat the first few emails as a way to judge whether the cadence suits you.
  • Common snag: if the prompt doesn't appear, try reloading the homepage or checking whether a browser extension is blocking forms.

Subscribe for access

Subscription is referenced on the site as an option, and Apple Pay appears among the payment methods mentioned. Current pricing, plan tiers, and what a subscription includes are not specified in the available site information, so check the subscription page directly before committing.

  • Choose subscription if you want ongoing access and are comfortable reviewing the terms on the site itself.
  • Skip it if you only need occasional headlines — the free browsing sections below may be enough.

Browse the headline sections

The homepage organizes current stories into clearly labeled blocks, which is the simplest way to catch up without signing up for anything:

Section What it shows Best for
Featured Top highlighted stories, including election and local government coverage A quick overview of what the editors consider most important
Latest Headlines Chronological recent stories with timestamps (e.g., "13 hours ago," "1 day ago") Catching up after a few days away
Most Popular The stories other readers are reading most Seeing what's driving local conversation
Local News Community-focused coverage such as court notes and school news Following specific local beats

A practical routine: scan Featured first, then Latest Headlines for anything time-sensitive, then Most Popular to see what you might have missed.

A note on what you'll find

Coverage centers on the Wyoming Valley region and includes breaking news, sports, business, entertainment, things to do, opinion, photos, and videos. Recent examples from the homepage include high school football scoreboards, county election referendums, and local government decisions — useful context for judging whether the newsletter or subscription is worth it for your interests.

If you want updates without managing an inbox, bookmarking the Latest Headlines page and checking it every few days achieves most of the same result.
