Which counties and communities does the Wyoming County Press Examiner cover?

Updated

The Wyoming County Press Examiner is a local news source centered on Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, and it also reports on news from Susquehanna, Bradford, Lackawanna and Luzerne counties. If you live in or follow any of those five counties, the site is likely to carry stories relevant to you; if you are looking for statewide or national coverage as the main focus, it is a local paper rather than a general-interest outlet.

Communities you will see in the reporting

The site's own headlines and excerpts show the kinds of places its stories are set in, which is a practical way to check whether your town falls inside its beat:

  • Tunkhannock — the Dietrich Theater's Col. Zebulon Butler presentation, a campaign stop at the Tunkhannock Public Library, and homecoming and Halloween traditions at Tunkhannock Area schools.
  • New Milford — the New Milford Area Rotary welcoming a member from Belize.
  • Olyphant — sentencing coverage of a DUI crash case.
  • Lehman Twp. (Luzerne County) — the home base of state Sen. Lisa Baker, referenced in the 20th Senate District race story.
  • Liberty Twp. (Susquehanna County) — the home base of challenger Jackie Baker in the same race.

What kind of coverage to expect

The site organizes content under sections including Featured, Local News, Top Stories, Sports and Latest Headlines. In practice that means:

  • Local government and politics, such as the 20th Senate District rematch, the governor and state Senate races on the Nov. 3 ballot, and a congressional debate.
  • Courts and public safety, such as the DUI sentencing and the county correctional facility's inspection result.
  • Community and culture, such as the Dietrich Theater event, an opera performance and school honor rolls.
  • High school and college sports, such as a District 2 cross country title and field hockey playoffs.

How to decide whether it fits your needs

  • Choose it if you live in or have ties to Wyoming County or the surrounding four counties and want local news, sports and community events in one place.
  • Look elsewhere if you need daily coverage of a different region, or national and international news as your primary source — the site's own framing is local.
