Advertising by far is the number one revenue source of community newspapers. Our pages provide space for the local merchants in the community to advertise their products or services. The classifieds help sell household items no longer needed, automobiles and so forth. Help can be found through classified advertis ing and so on. There is no advertising media in your community which offers the buying power that your local, paid circulation, newspaper does. Most of our community newspapers are read by upwards of 60 percent of the people in your shopping area. There is no orther media in your community, be it radio, cable television or free shoppers which can match the readership per centages of your communi ty newspaper.
