In 1946, Ernie and Betty Maxwell founded the ''[[Idyllwild Town Crier]]'' weekly newspaper, which has been in continual operation ever since. Over the years, it has been variously owned and operated by local families, the [[Chronicle Publishing Company]] in San Francisco, and a U.S. corporate subsidiary of the [[Tindle Newspaper Group]]. Since June 28, 2013, the ''Town Crier'' has been owned and operated by Idyllwild House Publishing Company Ltd., a family-held California general corporation based in Idyllwild. The ''Town Crier'' is the sole media monitor of eight local governmental agencies on "the Hill," as the San Jacinto Mountain communities are locally known. The ''Idyllwild Town Crier'' has received awards from the [[National Newspaper Association]], the [[California Newspaper Publishers Association]], and the [[California Press Association]], which are on display at its Village Center Drive office.

The [[Idyllwild Arts Foundation]], which began as a summer arts program, was founded by Bea and Max Krone in 1950. It was administered by the [[University of Southern California]] (USC) from 1964 through 1985, when the program was known as ISOMATA – Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts. In 1985, the Foundation purchased ISOMATA from USC, and followed by the founding of the private Idyllwild Arts Foundation (IAF) in 1986. IAF is a private, fully accredited high school for boarding and day students.

Since 2010 Idyllwild hosts the [[Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema]]. The first festival screened around 40 official selections from around the world.

In 2013, the Stratford Players [[theater]] group moved to Idyllwild, where they perform year-round. Typically in the fall, the troupe presents Will In The Woods, a selection of Shakespeare's scenes and soliloquies. The event is held outdoors in the afternoon, in keeping with Elizabethan custom. During the remainder of the year, Stratford Players present both staged readings and full productions of non-Shakespearean plays that vary from classics to recent works.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://idyllwildtowncrier.com/2014/07/23/stratford-players-perform-comedy/|title=Stratford Players to perform comedy |first=Idyllwild Town|last=Crier|date=July 23, 2014 |access-date=June 9, 2021|archive-date=June 9, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210609144313/https://idyllwildtowncrier.com/2014/07/23/stratford-players-perform-comedy/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://patch.com/california/banning-beaumont/tennessee-williams-night-of-the-iguana-presented-by-stratford-players-of-idyllwild_9600184d|title=Tennessee Williams' Night of the Iguana presented by Stratford Players of Idyllwild|date=May 19, 2014|website=Banning-Beaumont, CA Patch|access-date=June 5, 2019|archive-date=June 5, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190605085103/https://patch.com/california/banning-beaumont/tennessee-williams-night-of-the-iguana-presented-by-stratford-players-of-idyllwild_9600184d|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.inlandtheatre.org/2014/09/05/stratford-players-presents-will-in-the-woods/|title=Stratford Players presents Will in the Woods - Inland Theatre League|last=Happenings|access-date=June 5, 2019|archive-date=June 5, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190605085101/https://www.inlandtheatre.org/2014/09/05/stratford-players-presents-will-in-the-woods/|url-status=live}}</ref>
