The Ester Republic is a small, independent monthly newspaper published in Ester, Alaska, and established January 1999. The paper serves as an alternative media publication for the Tanana Valley. It is the only newspaper that has been published in Ester; the village has been served historically by Fairbanks newspapers. Contributors are generally amateur writers, although some professional journalists, poets, and photographers appear in its pages. The periodical encourages submissions of editorial cartoons by Alaskan artists. The paper has been operated out of the home of the publisher for most of its history; for a time its office space was the historic Ester post office, a 14'x16' structure built in 1971.
The paper has been the recipient of awards for editorial cartoons and writing from the Alaska Press Club each year since 2002.
