Weekly Newspapers VS Daily Newspapers

Women – Daily 49% • Weekly 53%

As compared to a daily newspaper audience, weekly newspapers are read by more women readers. This is great news for advertisers! Women are commonly the key purchase decision-makers in households.

Homeowners – Daily 33% • Weekly 40%

Homeowners have a vested interest in both local news and improving their communities. Community newspapers are the source for local tax news, real estate transactions and other quality of life topics. Homeowners, versus those who rent, are the consumers that advertisers most desire to reach.

Households with Children- Daily 62% • Weekly 70%

People with children turn to their local weekly newspapers for school news and town events. Local weekly papers report on – and show photos of – the community-based activities so important to residents and their children. Families with children are a highly desirable market for advertisers.
