Historically, the major newspaper in the area was ''The Times-Picayune''. The paper made headlines of its own in 2012 when owner [[Advance Publications]] cut its print schedule to three days each week, instead focusing its efforts on its website, NOLA.com. That action briefly made New Orleans the largest city in the country without a daily newspaper, until the [[Baton Rouge]] newspaper ''[[The Advocate (Louisiana)|The Advocate]]'' began a New Orleans edition in September 2012. In June 2013, the ''Times-Picayune'' resumed daily printing with a condensed [[newsstand]] [[tabloid (newspaper format)|tabloid]] edition, nicknamed ''TP Street'', which is published on the three days each week that its namesake [[broadsheet]] edition is not printed (the Picayune has not returned to daily delivery). With the resumption of daily print editions from the ''Times-Picayune'' and the launch of the New Orleans edition of ''The Advocate'', now ''The New Orleans Advocate'', the city had two daily newspapers for the first time since the afternoon ''States-Item'' ceased publication on May 31, 1980. In 2019, the papers merged to form ''[[The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate]]''.

In addition to the daily newspaper, weekly publications include ''[[The Louisiana Weekly]]'' and ''[[Gambit Weekly]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bestofneworleans.com/ |title=New Orleans News and Entertainment |website=Gambit Weekly |access-date=September 3, 2005 |archive-date=September 5, 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050905124246/http://www.bestofneworleans.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Also in wide circulation is the ''[[Clarion Herald]]'', the newspaper of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans.

Louisiana's film and television tax credits spurred growth in the television industry, although to a lesser degree than in the film industry. Many films and advertisements were set there, along with television programs such as ''[[The Real World: New Orleans]]'' in 2000,<ref name=Nola.com>Thompson, Richard.
