The "Princeton Town Topics" is a free weekly newspaper distributed to every household of the New Jersey municipalities of Princeton Borough and Princeton Township, and parts of Hopewell Borough, Hopewell Township, West Windsor Township, Lawrence Township, Pennington, Montgomery Township, and South Brunswick Township, with an estimated readership of 14,000.

The "Town Topics" is known for its coverage of its two primary municipalities, Princeton Borough and Princeton Township, as well as its coverage of Princeton's largest institution, Princeton University. While news coverage is mostly local, the paper's arts and entertainment coverage is more regional, with a coverage area that covers roughly the Trenton to New Brunswick portion of the Northeast Corridor.

Advertisers also take advantage of "Town Topics" availability, and the back pages of the newspaper are largely occupied with real estate advertisements.

In 1946, Emily Stuart helped her husband and other relatives establish a weekly newspaper called Town Topics that has been published in Princeton since 1946. On April 4, 1989, Emily Stuart, 74, was found stabbed to death in the basement of her stately Mercer Street home in a quiet neighborhood near Princeton University. [Johnson, Christine M. United Press International as reprinted in "The Philadelphia Inquirer". (April 6, 1989) "Princeton Murder Case is First There in 11 Years." Pg. B05] A relative found Stuart's fully clothed body lying face down in a garden tool storage area of the basement. A rear kitchen door ajar in Stuart's home, nothing appeared to have been stolen, and Stuart had been stabbed about five times between the shoulder blades. [Johnson, Christine M. United Press International as reprinted in "The Philadelphia Inquirer". (April 6, 1989) "Princeton Murder Case is First There in 11 Years." Pg. B05]

In 2006, the "Town Topics" celebrated its 60th anniversary.
