The Saratogian is a broadsheet-style daily newspaper published in Saratoga Springs, New York, United States. The paper has been published daily since 1855, first as The Daily Saratogian, [2] and then as The Saratogian beginning in 1910. [3]

It covers all of Saratoga County, New York and specifically the city of Saratoga Springs. It includes the Pinksheet [4] in the summer, which has information about what will happen at the Saratoga Race Course that very day.

The Saratogian was owned by Gannett from 1934 to 1998, [5] when it was sold to the Journal Register Company, now known as 21st Century Media, a subsidiary of Digital First Media. Digital is controlled by Alden Global Capital which has a practice of reducing staff and draining resources from local papers. [6] [7]
