If you're looking for the latest local news and event postings in the city there are a variety of sources in the Akron area. You could find out about job postings to do EAF cable cover protection or just learn about what has been happening around Akron. Many people are choosing to get their news from the Internet today, while others still prefer to have their newspaper delivered right to the front door daily. Here are your best choices for news and events using either medium in Akron.

The Akron Beacon Journal is the largest daily newspaper in the region. They have your regular newspaper fare including local, national and global news, sports, entertainment, business, and a lifestyle section. If you're looking to take out a classified ad or are interested in hiring someone who specializes in hydro excavation, you can find those listings in the paper as well as online. Their website also includes an archive section where you can search for articles that are up to a year old.

One of the best parts of the Akron Beacon Journal website is the UPublish section. This is a place where readers can go in and post their own events and local news. You could submit a video of your son's winning little league game or a story about how you know someone who received prestigious government SR & ED funding within the community. There are even several blogs and message boards that allow Akron residents to communicate with others in their city.

Akron.com is another great online source for local information. It includes stories and articles on anything that might be on interest to residents of the area. If you're looking for real estate information or food media for a new restaurant you're thinking of checking out, this might be the place to find it. This site is run by the West Side Leader and South Side News Leader, which are weekly publications within the city. Those looking to take out ad space will pay less for a place in these papers over the Akron Beacon.

Hello Akron is one of the most reliable sites for event listings in Akron. If you're looking for the location of an arts and crafts expo or want to see what musical acts are headed to town, this is the website for you.
