The Prescott Daily Courier
What it is
The Prescott Daily Courier is a daily local newspaper covering Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, Dewey-Humboldt, and the rest of central Yavapai County. It is the longest-running paper in the area and the default source most locals check for city council coverage, school board news, county elections, court reports, and high school sports.
Where to read it
Online: dcourier.com hosts the daily articles, e-edition, and obituaries. Print: racks and counter sales at most Circle K, Safeway, Fry's, and Walmart locations across Prescott and Prescott Valley. Subscriptions are available through the website for both print delivery and digital access. The e-edition replicates the printed paper page-by-page.
What it covers
Local government and elections, public safety and police logs, court hearings, school district news, business openings, real estate and development, obituaries, letters to the editor, and Prescott-area high school and Embry-Riddle sports. National and Arizona-wide coverage is light; the Courier's value is hyperlocal.
Print schedule and history
The paper publishes Tuesday through Sunday in print, with a Saturday weekend edition that combines weekly features. Daily updates run online seven days a week. The Courier traces its lineage to 1882 and ranks among the oldest continuously published newspapers in Arizona. Ownership has changed several times; it currently operates under Western News & Info.
Other local news sources
The Prescott eNews runs an online-only daily roundup. Signals AZ covers local broadcast and digital news. KAFF News and KYCA radio cover breaking and traffic. For tourism and event listings, the City of Prescott website and the Prescott Chamber of Commerce site are the most current. None replace the Courier for routine government and school coverage.
