The Lakeland Sun

he Lakeland sun is a weekly newspaper, which publishes every Wednesday both in print and online, is committed to bringing hyperlocal community journalism to Lakeland readers.
Your neighborhood. Your news. Your voice.
From arts and culture to education, from agriculture to events, when it comes to community news, we’ve got you covered.
The look and layout of the new Lakeland Sun is unlike any of our other Polk County-based publications, allowing for more pages dedicated to the local news that matters most to the residents of Lakeland, Bartow and Mulberry, as well as general Polk County news.
And for Polk businesses, that’s more space available to reach your target customers as well!
The Lakeland Sun is committed to bringing even more community news from the west side of Polk County to the pages of our newspaper than we’ve been able to do in the past. This new format allows us to do that. Our readers on the east side of the county regularly comment on our level of community stories, and our readers on the west side have asked for more. You asked and we listened.
The Lakeland Sun is a paid newspaper, available for purchase for $1 at more than 70 locations, such as supermarkets and convenience stores, throughout Lakeland, Bartow and Mulberry.
