===Newspapers===
The earliest recorded newspaper published in Chehalis was in 1883, the ''Lewis County Nugget'', with the ''Lewis County Bee'' forming a year later. Between 1887 and 1888, both publications dropped the county title and became the ''Chehalis Bee'' and the ''Chehalis Nugget''. The city was also home to ''The People's Advocate'' beginning in 1892, providing three competing papers in Chehalis until the ''Bee'' and ''Nugget'' merged in 1898 to become ''The Chehalis Bee-Nugget''. The ''Advocate'' became the ''Lewis County Advocate'' in 1903. The ''Bee-Nugget'' survived until 1938 when it joined with the ''Lewis County Advocate'' to become ''The Chehalis Advocate''.<ref name="ALBAT">{{cite news |last1=Jones |first1=Pat |title=A look back at the history of newspapering in Greater Lewis County |url=https://www.chronline.com/stories/a-look-back-at-the-history-of-newspapering-in-greater-lewis-county,220924 |access-date=July 10, 2021 |work=The Chronicle |date=June 17, 2006}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=The Chehalis Advocate |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=B1M9AAAAIBAJ |access-date=June 18, 2024 |date=August 2, 1938 |page=1}}</ref>  With the exception of "The Scoop", a brief upstart of a daily publication in the 1950s, the merger left Chehalis with one surviving news publication produced in the city.  ''The Chehalis Advocate'', due to a loss of ad revenue and rising costs, folded in 1963.<ref name="ALBAT"/><ref>{{cite web |title=The Chehalis Bee-Nugget 1989-1938 |url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn88085553/ |website=chroniclingamerica.loc.gov |publisher=National Endowment for the Humanities - Library of Congress |access-date=July 10, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=The Chehalis Advocate 1938-1963 |url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn88085053/ |website=chroniclingamerica.loc.gov |publisher=National Endowment for the Humanities - Library of Congress |access-date=July 10, 2021}}</ref> A weekly newspaper known as The Weekly News, and then as the Chehalis Times, was begun in 1979 but folded two years later.<ref name="ALBAT"/> Since then, Chehalis has been without a city-produced newspaper and local news reports for the residents of Chehalis are provided by ''[[The Chronicle (Centralia, Washington)|The Chronicle]]'', a [[weekly newspaper]] published in Centralia.

A ghost sign for the Chehalis Bee-Nugget was found in 2009, and subsequently preserved, during a renovation of Chehalis's historic St. Helens Theater.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Pittman |first1=Mitch |title='It's a labor of love:' Old Chehalis theater gets new life |url=https://komonews.com/news/local/its-a-labor-of-love-old-chehalis-theater-being-brought-back-to-life |access-date=July 10, 2021 |work=Komo News |date=March 31, 2017}}</ref>
