THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF LOCAL COMMUNITY INFORMATION

Community Paper circulation is growing, rather than falling like paid newspapers. Community Newspapers have more than twice the weekly circulation than that of all paid papers combined. Increasingly, readers are looking to their local free paper for information. Clearly advertising in free papers is good business!
