Don't let the newspaper scene in Jackson confuse you. Most residents read both. Each weekly also publishes a daily edition available in area stores and restaurants.
Many residents read neither.
The dailies carry mostly advertising and regional and national wire service copy of interest to tourists. The well-researched local stories that Jackson residents crave are almost all found in the weekly editions, which come out on Wednesdays. As a visitor to the area, you'll find the dailies' restaurant guides and ads useful. But if you want a window into Jackson's character, make sure you buy a weekly paper, too. In Yellowstone country, if your accommodations choice doesn't offer cable or satellite TV, don't plan on much in the way of selection or quality reception.
