Topeka's major daily newspaper is The Topeka Capital-Journal. The city is also a center for magazine publishing. Among the widely circulated periodicals based in Topeka are Capper's, a biweekly human interest magazine established in 1879; and Grit, a weekly family-oriented tabloid. Mother Earth News, a leading environmental magazine, moved from New York City to Topeka in 2001. Other publications pertain to agriculture, commerce and industry, history, food, and rural living.
Topeka television viewers select programming from two stations based in the city—one commercial network affiliate and one public station. Six AM and FM radio stations schedule a variety of formats such as educational, talk, adult contemporary, and news and sports.
