The Central Voice newspaper, formerly Alternative Central newspaper, was a bi-monthly publication that ran from July 2003 through April 2020. The title "Alternative Central" was used from July 2003 through October 2006, when "The Central Voice" title started to be used and continued use to the end of the publication. Both newspapers prioritized news, events, and stories most relevant to the LGBTQ+ community. Though the geographic scope of the newspaper focused on south-central Pennsylvania, including cities such as Harrisburg, statewide and national news and events were also covered.
Some issues from each newspaper are missing and could not be digitized. The Central Voice issues from 2014 onward are born-digital newspapers. The Central Voice also published special issues such as the LGBT Pages (for LGBTQ+-friendly business) and special programs for the central Pennsylvania Pride Fest and the York Pride Fest.
