What Lehigh Daily stands for

Legacy news publications are floundering. They're increasingly out of touch with their communities, behind the curve on digital innovation, and struggling to adapt to the changing media landscape.


The Lehigh Valley is rapidly growing in population and evolving in its diversity. Our region deserves a news source that reflects this growth and the varied experiences of its residents.


We're here to serve you better. With a younger, more diverse newsroom, original perspectives, and a commitment to accurate, digital-first storytelling, we meet you where you are.


Local news is vital to civic engagement, and we're dedicated to providing the Lehigh Valley with original reporting and perspectives that matter most to our community.
