MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN CHARLESTON

Historically defined by a competitive two-paper market operating under a joint agreement, West Virginia’s capital city press landscape is dominated by longstanding legacy publications and specialized statewide reporting. For decades, readers relied on a split daily format featuring the morning Charleston Gazette and the afternoon Charleston Daily Mail, which later merged their newsrooms to form a single primary daily. Complementing the mainstream news is the State Journal, a weekly publication dedicated to business, government, and economic reporting across the region. Paperboy lists 3 newspapers in Charleston.
