The Vindicator, also known at times as the Youngstown Vindicator, is a daily newspaper serving Youngstown, Ohio, United States and the Mahoning County region as well as southern Trumbull County and northern Columbiana County. The Vindicator was established in 1869. It is owned by the Maag family (longtime area residents) and is run by the Vindicator Printing Company, which also runs local NBC affiliate WFMJ-TV and WFMJ's digital subchannel, CW affiliate WBCB.
Its primary competitor is the Tribune Chronicle in nearby Warren, Ohio, though their news has more of a slant towards the Trumbull County and parts of northeastern Portage County areas as opposed to the more broad Vindicator.
