Trib embraces future with expanded digital access, fewer print editions

As the media landscape continues to evolve, Trib Total Media is taking bold steps to meet the moment — balancing its proud print legacy with an expanded digital presence that ensures readers continue to receive the trusted local journalism they depend on.

Beginning Jan. 1, 2026, the Trib will adjust its print publication schedule.

The Westmoreland print edition will be offered five days a week — Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The Valley News Dispatch print edition will be offered three days a week — Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

This change reflects the shifting ways people consume news and the economic realities facing newspapers nationwide.

“The way our community reads and engages with the news is changing,” said Jennifer Bertetto, Trib Total Media president and CEO. “We’re embracing that change while staying true to our mission of delivering essential, reliable local reporting.”

Readers can look forward to an enhanced Saturday edition, which will feature expanded coverage of local news, community features and sports highlights — making it an even more robust weekend read.

While the print schedule will change, the Trib’s digital access is expanding. Subscribers will continue to enjoy the eTrib, the digital replica of the newspaper, seven days a week, along with a complimentary ad-free subscription to TribLive.com as a token of appreciation for their continued loyalty.

In addition, a new and improved TribLive.com will launch on Jan. 1, 2026, offering more local coverage, breaking news updates and an enhanced reading experience — available anytime, anywhere.

Bertetto reaffirmed the Trib’s commitment to being the region’s most trusted source of local news and information.

“We’re excited to bring readers the next chapter of TribLive,” she said. “We are proud of our history and committed to a strong future.”
