The Vindicator is a daily newspaper serving the region surrounding Youngstown, Ohio. Founded in 1869, the newspaper currently has a circulation of 84,602.
Monday-Saturday, the paper publishes four sections: Headlines/National news (section A), Local (section B), Sports (Section C), and Classifieds, with the classifieds being sometimes being an addition to section C. There are also different sections which appear once a week as section D: Food (on Wednesdays), Entertainment Extra (Thursdays, printed as a tabloid), UpNext in Entertainment (Fridays), and a TV listings magazine on Saturday, with listings beginning on Sunday morning and continuing through the rest of the week.
The Sunday edition is, like most other newspapers, greatly expanded. in addition to the four sections mentioned, there is also sections dedicated to business, entertainment, life & work, and health, among others.
The paper's staff has gone on strike twice. The first strike was in 1964 and lasted about 8 months; the strikers published the Steel Valley Times during this time. The second strike lasted from November 2004 to July 2005, and the strikers published their own paper, The Valley Voice, during this time. The latter strike was settled even though the union did not get their demands met, mostly because the Vindicator had announced that if the strike was not settled when it was, they would begin hiring an entirely new staff to replace them.
