==Media== Antioch is served by the ''[[Antioch Press]]'',<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.usnewspapers.com/|title=Newspaper Advertising | Nationwide Classified or Display Ads Cheap|website=www.usnewspapers.com}}</ref> published by Brentwood Press & Publishing Corporation. ''Antioch Press'' is a weekly newspaper that is published every Friday. The current circulation is just over 4,000. The ''[[Antioch Daily Ledger|Antioch Ledger]]'' was first issued on March 10, 1870. To commemorate the paper's formation, a copy of its first issue has been framed and hangs over the desk of the present editor. The sole news item is a report with editorial comment on a women's suffrage meeting that had just been held in the town. The ''Ledger'' later merged with the ''[[Contra Costa Times]]'' and printed its last issue in 2005.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.calarchives4u.com/history/contracosta/1917-ch27.htm|title=Antioch|accessdate=February 25, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081014091518/http://www.calarchives4u.com/history/contracosta/1917-ch27.htm |archive-date=14 October 2008 |url-status=usurped}}</ref> The ''Times''{{'}} weekly publication, the ''Antioch News'', which is an expansion of the ''Brentwood News'' is published each Friday. The Antioch Press published its first issue in January 2001, direct mailing newspapers to all homes and businesses in the city twice monthly, and then weekly from September 2005 until the 2008 economic crash. It continued to publish and distribute only in racks and stacks throughout town until June 2012. It was then only published online until 2020 when it was combined with the ''Brentwood Press'', ''Oakley Press'', and ''Discovery Bay Press'' into one paper, distributed in stacks and racks throughout the city as ''The Press''. The ''Antioch Herald'' was first launched online in October 2010 and then expanded to print in May 2011, mailing to homes and businesses in Antioch each month. As of 2021, due to the impacts on businesses from the COVID-19-related government health orders, the ''Herald'' is only available online. A strictly online news source, ''East County Today'' was launched online in July 2012 covering Antioch and the other three cities and five unincorporated communities in eastern Contra Costa County.
