Radio
In addition to Peterborough's own radio market, some (but not all) radio stations from the Greater Toronto Area can also be heard in the area. Peterborough is in an unusual position in this respect; the city has more radio stations of its own than some larger cities, such as Oshawa or Brampton, which are closer to the Toronto market.

The Peterborough Examiner is the regional daily newsapaper, and one of the area's original local publishers. From 1942 to 1955, it was both owned and edited by renowned Canadian author Robertson Davies, who resided in the city. In the late 1980s, the tabloid-style Peterborough This Week entered the market, taking a large share of advertising away from the Examiner. Peterborough This Week is a free newspaper delivered to most homes in Peterborough County. Alternatively, Arthur and Absynthe are student newspapers funded and produced by Trent University students. They are distributed at no cost on the university campus and in the downtown area.
Since 1994, the Connection newspaper (previously known as Causeway Connection) has been established in the central part of Peterborough County, now known as the Township of Smith-Ennismore-Lakefield. This free monthly newspaper is distributed by mail to many homes in the area, providing a non-political, informative voice for that area.
In 2002, the KnowAboutNetwork launched their first magazine in Peterborough to complement their online magazine and directory.[2] Since then, they have published over 20 magazine/directories including KnowAbout Downtown, KnowAbout The Kawarthas, KnowAbout Home Improvements and many more. The magazines are full process colour newsprint and contain information on local goods and services. They are distributed by post, free pick-up and at local special events.
