      • The Express-Times is a daily newspaper based in Easton, Pennsylvania. The newspaper provides national news and extensive local news coverage of the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania. Founded in 1855, The Express-Times is the longest continuously published newspaper in the Lehigh Valley.
      The paper has won awards in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In 2021, it won the Toner Prize for Excellence in Political Reporting.


      History


      First printed 1855 as The Easton Daily Express, the name changed to The Easton Express in 1917 and was abbreviated to The Express in 1973. In 1991, The Express merged with The Globe-Times of Bethlehem to become The Express-Times.
      Thomson Newspapers bought The Express of Easton in 1983. The paper took on its current name when the Globe-Times of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, merged with The Express. MediaNews Group bought The Express-Times from Thomson in 1994. Current owner Advance Publications bought MediaNews' New Jersey and Pennsylvania newspapers in 2000.
      The Express-Times is also available online at lehighvalleylive.com.
      In 2023, The Express-Times joined The Morning Call in dropping their circulation of the Dilbert comic after Scott Adams, the comic's creator, told white people to "get the hell away from [black people]" on a YouTube live stream in response to a public opinion poll by the conservative-learning Rasmussen Reports, which found that 26% of Black respondents disagreed with the statement that it's okay to be white.
      The paper announced it will discontinue its print edition starting in February 2025.
