EnglishWhich counties and communities does The Scranton Times-Tribune serve?
Updated
The Scranton Times-Tribune serves as its primary coverage area Lackawanna, Wayne, Susquehanna, and Pike counties in northeastern Pennsylvania, with Scranton as the center of its reporting. If you live in or follow local affairs in these counties, the site's municipal, school, election, and public-safety stories are likely to be directly relevant to you. Coverage extends to nearby communities in the wider NEPA (Northeast Pennsylvania) region as well.
Core coverage area
The paper describes itself as the local news source for those four counties. In practice, that means:
- Lackawanna County — Scranton and surrounding municipalities, including local government, schools, and crime and public-safety reporting.
- Wayne, Susquehanna, and Pike counties — regional news, sports, business, and community happenings.
- The broader NEPA region — economic development, entertainment, and issues that cross county lines.
What kinds of local stories you'll find
The homepage's sections show the range of community-level coverage:
| Section | Example of what it covers |
|---|---|
| Election | Local referendums (e.g., Carbondale Home Rule Charter, Scott Twp. tax question), state House races like the 118th District |
| Data centers | Municipal votes and resident reaction on projects such as the Wildcat Ridge Data Center Campus in Archbald |
| Crime and Public Safety | Sentencing and arrest reports from Scranton, Olyphant, Newton Twp., and other local communities |
| Sports | High school football scoreboards and game schedules for schools like Scranton, Abington Heights, Delaware Valley, and West Scranton |
| Latest Headlines | Regional economic development and community news from across NEPA |
How to tell whether it covers your community
Use the site's section labels as a quick filter. Stories tied to a specific municipality usually name the borough or township in the headline or opening paragraph — for example, "Archbald council set to vote…" or "Newton Twp. woman charged…". If you see your municipality named in election, public-safety, or local-government stories, the paper is actively covering your area. For school-related news, check whether your district appears in the high school sports scoreboard or in election coverage of local school issues.
