The Tyrone Constitution was established in 1844, the oldest newspaper

in the county, and one of the longest-running in Northern Ireland. It circulates in a wide area of Tyrone, stretching from the Clogher

Valley in the South to the Sperrin Mountains in the North and also

penetrates into North Fermanagh.

Omagh, the market county town of Tyrone, is at the heart of the

circulation area and where the newspaper's editorial and advertising

offices are sited.

Although covering a largely rural area, there are significant

business and commercial centres dotted throughout the sprawling

circulation area.

The Constitution has long been known for its in-depth coverage of

community life and issues that concern the local populace.{{citation needed|date=October 2011}} This was

Newspaper of the Year accolade in 1999.{{citation needed|date=October 2011}}
