The Smallville Ledger is the town newspaper for Smallville and the surrounding area. Christopher James Beppo was a prominent contributor. Chloe Sullivan has been known to publish her works into the newspaper. The online version of the newspaper was regularly updated during the show's early years but presently remains defunct. However, many of the articles can still be viewed individually on Warnerbros.com.
