In September 1987 the Times News entered the weekly newspaper business when it purchased the East Penn Free Press published in Emmaus. Through the next two decades 7 more weekly newspapers were started serving school districts in the Allentown and Bethlehem areas. These 8 newspapers form The Lehigh Valley PRESS group of weekly newspapers.

The weekly issues of the Bethlehem Press from January 20, 2010 through August 2, 2023 have been digitized by the BAPL and can be browsed by date on the following page or by entering a date in the search bar at the top of the page. Note: Issues were published on Wednesdays.
