Local Newspapers, Free Media.
For over 200 years, local community papers have endured, grown and evolved to continually provide news, opportunity and information that s relevant, interesting and unsurpassed value to advertisers.

Today free newspapers are published in every major market and nearly every town throughout the country with a combined circulation that exceeds all paid dailies.

Leading the Trend
From whence it all began, free newspapers were embraced by a community and its people. From there, an idea came forth to force consumers to pay for news and information. For awhile this methodology worked, however in recent years the industry has shifted with paid media on the decline, and local media flourishing.

Exceptional Value & Opportunity
Local community papers can be nimble, responsive and best of all, capable of customizing programs to meet the unique needs of media buyers and their clients.

Flexibility With Uniformity
is key to an effective media buy. We can customize your ad buy to target your message.

With PaperChain membership, local newspapers and shopping guides have joined together to meet the standards of today s media buyer. Do the research and reap the benefits of PaperChain s flexibility with uniformity - audited circulation, quality production, and proof of performance.
