Metro Philadelphia is a free daily newspaper and digital publication covering news, culture, and community stories across Philadelphia. Distributed at high-traffic locations such as SEPTA stations and city sidewalks, Metro aims to keep residents informed on the go. Now owned by O’Rourke Media Group following a 2025 acquisition, the paper continues to expand its digital presence while maintaining a strong focus on local voices, neighborhood events, and the news of everyday life in Philadelphia.
Metro Philadelphia’s mission is to provide the people of Philadelphia with quality, local journalism and help inform and educate readers. Our papers are distributed in drop boxes throughout the city, suburbs and along most SEPTA routes, allowing Metro to bring local, credible news to the fingertips of Philadelphians. Our mission is rooted in the belief that truth makes our city stronger and helps empower the communities we serve.
