Media
The region is served by two weekly newspapers, the Peace River Record-Gazette and Mile Zero News. Peace River Record-Gazette is based in Peace River while Mile Zero News is based in Grimshaw. Although the Record-Gazette reports mostly on the Town of Peace River, Nampa, St. Isidore and Northern Sunrise County and the Mile Zero News reports mostly on Grimshaw, the M.D. of Peace No. 135 and the County of Northern Lights, there is significant overlap in the news coverage by the two newspapers.
The Town of Peace River has two locally based radio stations: CKKX-FM (KIX FM) and CKYL (YL Country), both owned by Peace River Broadcasting. CKRP-FM, operating out of Fahler, is a French language community radio station that also serves the Peace River area. Other radio stations available in the area include CIAM-FM, CHFA (AM), CBX (AM), CKUA and CFGP-FM.

“The question confronting the Church today is not any longer whether the man in the street can grasp a religious message, but how to employ the communications media so as to let him have the full impact of the Gospel message.”
—Pope John Paul II (b. 1920)
“The media network has its idols, but its principal idol is its own style which generates an aura of winning and leaves the rest in darkness. It recognises neither pity nor pitilessness.”
