kill community newspapers?
instant coffee
New technologies chaoge many things. But not everything.
You may surf, Sear ( h, shop and blog online, but you still read
community newspapers. And you're far from alone.
A recent survey of towns with a newspaper's circulation was
8,000 or less:
• 81 percent of those surveyed read their local newspaper
each week.
* Those readers, on average, share their paper with 2.36
additional readers.
• They spend about 40 minutes reading their local paper.
• 78 percent read most or all of their community newspaper.
• Nearly 40 percent keep their community newspaper more
than a week
62 percent of readers read local news very often in their
community newspapers, while 54 percent say they never
read local news online.
• 60 percent say the community newspaper is the primary
source of information about their community.
• 70 percent somewhat or strongly agree they prefer to read
newspaper ads than view ads on the internet
• Eight out of 10 adults took action as a result of newspaper
advertising in the past 30 days.
Rather than being displaced by "instant" media, community
newspapers are the perfect complement. We do what the
internet doesn't.
This is not the portrait of a dying industry. No medium covers a
community like the local newspaper. Community newspapers
also remain the number one medium for driving purchase
consideration and intent. And that's essential in every product.
Including coffee.
We'll always be here for you!
