The Piedmonton Times (PT) is a Ridgelantic English-language online newspaper based in Piedmonton, Ridgeland. The Piedmonton Times covers domestic, national, and international news, and comprises opinion pieces and investigative reports. As the longest-running newspaper in Ridgeland, it serves as one of the country's newspapers of record. Since its founding, the company has been chaired by including its current chairman and the paper's publisher, Forest C. F., a Ridgelantic nationalist, politican, and founding father.
The Times was founded in Ridgeland originally as a Ridgelantic media conglomerate, running the online Piedmonton Radio One and having short video news pieces featured on Government-run online accounts. In early to mid-2023, the Piedmonton Times was briefly rebranded as Þe Piedmonton Seitungs, an online Ridgelantic-speaking weekly newspaper, in an attempt to popularize the language, before eventually moving to WordPress.com and readopting its original name in November 2023. The modern-day online newspaper posted its first article on 16 November, 2023, covering the Mad Carroting[1]. Since it's refounding, the Times covered multiple key points in Ridgelantic history, including an essay concerning Almendrian violations of generally accepted rules of micronational warfare that went under heavy fire from Almendrian sources[2], along with covering the 2023 Ridgelantic political crisis.
