DMA 125: YOUNGSTOWN, OH

Broadcaster-Owned Youngstown Paper Shuttered

The Brown-Maag family, owner of NBC affiliate WFMJ Youngstown, Ohio, ceased publication of the Youngstown Vindicator over the weekend, ending its 150 years of service to the city and surrounding communities. However, Ogden Newspaper’s Tribune Chronicle, in neighboring Trumbull County, has purchased Vindicator assets with the promise of a Youngstown edition.
