The Patriot-News is the largest newspaper serving the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, metropolitan area. In 2005, the newspaper was ranked in the top 100 in daily and Sunday circulation in the United States. It has been owned by Advance Publications since 1947.

On August 28, 2012, the newspaper's publisher announced that it would shift to a three-day print publication schedule beginning January 1, 2013, and expand its digital focus on its website, PennLive.com, and social media platforms. This followed similar moves at other Advance Publications-owned publications.[2] It is published Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Also, as of May 4, 2015, LNP, a seven-day newspaper based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is printed in the same facility as The Patriot-News.
