State laws require the government and certain individuals to publish notices of some of their activities in legal newspapers. These laws exist so that citizens are educated about governmental actions that could affect them. Public notices keep these events from happening secretly and without notification. Further, a public notice published in the newspaper becomes a permanent record. A listing appears below of all official legal newspapers in Pennsylvania.
