The Lakeland media community is a great combination of locally generated news, and entertainment along with the benefits of the major markets of Tampa and Orlando.
The Ledger is the local newspaper and is owned by the New York Times while being operated in Lakeland by local professionals. It's the right combination of local flavor powered by big city resources. There is a wide variety of radio formats to suit the taste of any musical pallet and a Polk County Government TV station to keep you informed on what is happening in Lakeland and the surrounding areas. That's all in addition to the nationally generated networks and cable TV stations.
Take a look at the resources below to experience the full flavor of Lakeland's media community.
