The Urbana Daily Citizen is a community daily newspaper based in Urbana, Ohio, that serves as the paper of record and primary print and digital news provider for Champaign County and its surrounding villages. Tracing its historical roots back to 1838, the publication provides vital hyper-local reporting, including updates on city and township council meetings, regional school board actions, crime, community milestones, and local obituaries. Following changes in modern media production, the newspaper shifted its print operations to deliver physical editions on Tuesday and Friday mornings while maintaining daily online news coverage 24/7. Previously operated under the AIM Media Midwest corporate umbrella, the publication officially transitioned to new ownership under West Virginia-based HD Media LLC in September 2026. Managing editor Brenda Burns and sports editor Steve Stout lead the newsroom from its offices at 1637 East U.S. Highway 36, ensuring dedicated coverage of local community events and Champaign County high school sports.
