The Elizabethtown Advocate was a weekly newspaper serving Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, from 2010 to 2021. The paper grew from having approximately 600 copies being produced weekly in 2011[1][2] to a paid circulation of 5,982 as of 2017[3] before ceasing publication at the end of 2021.
The Advocate was founded in 2010 by veteran Associated Press journalist Dan Robrish.[1] Robrish worked for the AP for 11 1/2 years.[2]
Before working for the Associated Press, Robrish was employed by the Pottstown Mercury, the Journal of New Ulm in Minnesota and the Ely Daily Times in Nevada.[3]
The Advocate was a "one-man" newspaper for 7 years with Robrish as the sole reporter, editor, and publisher.[4]
The Advocate superseded the Elizabethtown Chronicle which folded after 140 years in 2009.[5] The Chronicle folded when its parent company, the Journal-Register, filed for bankruptcy.
The Advocate was acquired by the LNP Media Group, a subsidiary of the Steinman Communications, in 2017.[6] LNP also publishes Lancaster County Weeklies, including The Ephrata Review and The Lititz Record.
