Its print edition is published Monday through Sunday morning, and its website is updated regularly throughout the day with breaking news, feature stories, photographs and videos.
Thomson owned The Progress-Index until 1997, when it sold it to Times-Shamrock Communications, a privately held media company based in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Normally, the only time the P-I took advantage of the fact that it printed in the morning was on Election Day, when voters were pictured at the polls.
Late in 2019, citing decreases in circulation and advertising, the Herald-Post and the County Register stopped publishing.
That move reflected a national trend in local journalism where people were relying much more on their electronic devices to read news and information in formats best suited to their daily lives.
On August 31, 2020, the circulation and production departments of The Progress-Index were outsourced to Lee Enterprises, owner and operator of the Richmond Times-Dispatch and other Virginia newspapers, as part of a Gannett corporate initiative.
