What is the The Budget
Over the years, The Budget has earned a faithful following by providing its readers with a unique newspaper; a newspaper in which the good news reported in its pages routinely outweighs the bad.
The Budget is the most popular and widely read local weekly newspaper in Holmes, western Tuscarawas, southeast Wayne and northern Coshocton counties, in the Heart of Ohio’s Amish Country. The newspaper is a community paper in the purest sense giving its readers content that mirrors their lifestyles. The Budget successfully brings together in its pages the work place, market place and the church, the English and the Plain People.
Its local pages are filled with timely and insightful news stories, compelling human-interest features, inspirational messages from area pastors and their congregations, deserving acknowledgments of academic achievements and extra-curricular activities, and the most comprehensive local sports coverage of the Garaway and East Holmes school districts.
However, The Budget is known locally, nationally and internationally as the Amish Newspaper, as well. Established in 1890. The Budget’s National Edition publishes a collection of “Letters” written by Amish and Mennonite scribes representing their communities throughout the United States (primarily Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania) and also Canada, Central and South Americas, and overseas.
Online you will find highlights of our weekly Local Edition coverage. Out of respect for our 116-year relationship with our Amish and Mennonite writers, readers and friends, the National Edition remains available only in its printed format.
