==Media==
Festus has no television stations; being part of the St. Louis media market, it receives all broadcast networks from there. There is one radio station, KJFF (1400 AM), a local Class C station with a news-talk format.
The city is also home to the ''Jefferson County Leader'', an online newspaper providing regional coverage, which launched in 1994.
