Economic Impact Report

Economic Impact Report

The 2020 Economic Impact Report reveals that our industry’s statewide economic impact is $1.3 billion. The newly released analysis also shows that the Pennsylvania newspaper industry generates nearly 10,000 jobs and has a state and local tax impact of $51.8 million.

PNA commissioned original research from the experts at Parker Philips Inc. to measure all the ways that newspapers contribute to the Pennsylvania economy. The report is the result of the first comprehensive economic study undertaken by PNA to detail the significant impact of newspapers in Pennsylvania.

Distributed to all members of the state Legislature and other government officials, the report shows people that our industry is consistently strong, with taxpayers turning to newspapers during COVID more than other mediums; our combined print and digital readership is large; and we have a significant impact on the communities we serve.
