regional newspaper

Area's printed news

A regional newspaper covers news for a particular geographic area—a state, province, or multi-county region—rather than national or purely local affairs.

Regional papers typically maintain bureaus across their coverage area and focus on issues affecting that region: The regional newspaper broke the story about contamination in the valley.

They occupy a middle ground between hometown weeklies and national dailies.
