About the Guardian

The Williamsport Guardian is a progressive, non-profit organization with an all-volunteer staff and board of directors. The Guardian publishes a quality bi-monthly newspaper in tabloid format. We publish a wide variety of political viewpoints, especially those under-represented in existing media outlets in north-central Pennsylvania. News analysis will usually include the local or regional implications of events and trends in the world at large. We aim to help readers connect the dots between the national and the local, between government action and individuals and families in local communities. Our coverage of cultural events emphasizes smaller venues, independent films, and local or not-so-famous artists. Each issue includes a calendar of cultural, educational, and political events in the region, as broadly defined.



The Williamsport Guardian is available for free in restaurants, stores, theaters and other venues throughout north-central Pennsylvania, including Lycoming, Clinton, Tioga, Bradford, Sullivan, Union, Northumberland, Columbia, Montour and Snyder Counties. Copies will be mailed to individual subscribers. The cost of publishing the Guardian is paid by subscriptions, advertising, and donations.
