Newspapers can be some of the most varied mediums of press, but they can also be some of the most restrictive. With the advent of the internet, many local newspapers have had a hard time transitioning into a digital environment. While some survived, others merged with other local newspapers or limited their release. As a result, many newspapers listed on this website have different names or have shut down. This page has a database with the new names of these papers and descriptions for those that no longer exist.

It also includes newsletters that LGBT+ people in Central PA used to stay connected and informed about news and organizations in their community. These newsletters covered topics that might not have been in other local newspapers.
