Freeland has had a number of newspapers over time. I'm not sure whether this is an exhaustive list, and I'd be grateful to know of others that are not listed here.

Thanks go to Sue Kellerman of Pennsylvania State University, who worked on the Pennsylvania Newspaper Project, for most of the information on Freeland newspapers that appears here.

Freeland Daily Progress: daily, published 05/02/1887-09/30/1887 (published by Owen Fowler, daily except Sunday; also issued in a weekly edition called Freeland Progress)

Freeland Tribune: published 6/28/1888-1921? (at least part of the time this paper was published by Thos. A. Buckley; in its later years, it was produced at 824 Main St., published by Tribune Printing Co. Ltd.; weekly 1888-1892; semiweekly 1892-1901?; triweekly briefly 1902?-????; then semiweekly again)

UPDATE ON THE MICROFILMING OF EARLY FREELAND NEWSPAPERS:

The 35 years' worth of early Freeland newspapers owned by MMI Preparatory School have now been microfilmed. The papers involved are issues of the Freeland Tribune and the Semi-Weekly Progress, published from the late 1880s to 1921. Interested readers can consult the microfilm at the Hazleton Area Public Library. Many thanks are due to the Hazleton Area Public Library, to MMI Preparatory School, and to all of those who contributed funds and those who have been otherwise involved in making this project a reality.
