The Paxton-Herald is a local weekly newspaper that is sold at many locations throughout the harrisburg region. It is carried by: Sheetz, Turkey Hill, Downtown News, Wegmans, Giant, Karns, Weis, some other places like sunoco, 7-eleven, exxon or uni-mart. Calling itself a newspaper is a stretch, but who can resist dropping 35 cents on this? It focuses mainly on West Hanover Twp, Lower Pacton Twp and Susquehanna Twp. It has excellent reviews for local yard sales and flea markets and also church bake sales and ethnic food fests. Saint Ann's Byzantine on Locust Lane is a great one to check out in July. The Paxton Herald also focuses on local city politics, gossip and general hear-say. It always seems to stick up for people who were wronged and embarrasses people who cheat or steal. But some of the things it prints are totally Biased and off base: It generally reviews the catholic schools and churches in a negative light. But it does have a lot of information about community events in Harrisburg, Penbrook, Highspire, Steelton, Middletown, Paxtang, Colonial Park, Union Deposit, Hummlestown, Dauphin, Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, New Cumberland, Enola, Wormlysburg and Lemoyne. read more

Read it for the classifieds... But bypass the articles as they're EXTREMELY biased. Oh yes, and I found 4 typos on the front page when it came in the mail last week! Do they have an Editor? read more

This weekly pretends to contain news and opinion, but it is generally the ranting of the owner. I was surprised that another review called it liberal-leaning. I think the opposite. At any rate, the press releases from organizations about their activities are valuable, as well as the classifieds, and want ads. The price is low, and sometimes you can find it being given away free of charge. A lot of people love it, I have to admit. read more
