The Princeton Packet is a semi-weekly newspaper serving the Princeton, New Jersey area. The company traces its lineage to 1786. The Princeton Packet Inc. is the publisher of 5 community newspapers, a weekly arts and entertainment supplement and a series of local-news-based websites. The paper was purchased by former Wall Street Journal publisher Barney Kilgore in 1955, inherited by his family after his death, and has been expanded by acquisition of newspapers in adjoining towns. According to its advertiser kit, the Packet's circulation as of 2013 was approximately 20,000.^[1] The company's products serve more than 40 municipalities in the New Jersey counties of Mercer, Middlesex, Somerset, Hunterdon, Monmouth, Burlington and Ocean County.

In January 2009 the Packet website packetonline.com became centraljersey.com.

In March 2016, Princeton Packet Inc. announced a deal that will form a new company to operate the Packet and other newspapers and websites. The CEO of Broad Street Media will oversee operations of the company; James Kilgore will continue as the publisher and a board member, and Michele Nesbihal will continue in her general manager and marketing director roles with the new company.^[2]
