Newspapers--Rural

Look under this Yellow™ heading to find information on rural newspapers. Rural newspapers are just like regular dailies, only focusing and bringing news relevant to the community it is located in. Rural newspapers mainly focus on news and issues in its community and are a great means for acquiring news about local agriculture, farming, poultry, local events, and opinion. Rural newspapers differ in circulation – some are published daily while some are in weekly or fortnightly formats. Although they focus on community news, they also provide national news but slanted in a way that shows how it affects the local area.

Rural newspapers not only provide news, they also provide a good channel for local businesses to advertise their products, job openings, and promotional sales. Since rural newspapers target the local populace, this allows local advertisers to make targeted marketing campaigns that are able to reach their primary audience while at the same time avoiding the large placement fees associated with national dailies. It is also a perfect medium for announcing local legislation as well as local events such as county fairs and weddings.

Rural newspaper publishing can be a profitable business, if handled properly. It can reach a sizeable audience while at the same time has a smaller publishing cost because of it’s lower circulation compared to national newspapers.  It also has a captured market when it comes to advertising. Rural newspapers, like their broadsheet counterparts have teams of reporters, columnists, editors, and writers – that in all likelihood are also from the local community. They also usually have a marketing group that regularly interacts with local companies and businesses for advertising purposes.
