There is a local television station as well as state and New England wide coverage via cable and satellite services. There is also public radio and TV on both sides of the river and community access TV channels on cable. Local computer networks provides access to the Internet, World Wide Web, national and international e-mail.

Educational opportunities abound in the Upper Valley.
There are private and public preschool, primary and secondary schools, as well as graduate and adult education programs. The area's schools, at all levels, are very highly regarded. Approximately twenty-five percent of Hanover High School's student population is tuition paying from communities outside of Hanover and Norwich. Dartmouth is a private, co-educational, four year liberal arts college, founded by the Reverend Eleazar Wheelock in 1769. The institution sits on a 200 acre main campus immediately adjacent to Hanover's downtown business district in the southwestern corner of the township.
