The Power of Newspapers
The power of journalism we produce informs, binds and safeguards our Lake Havasu City community and democracy
itself.
We’re the marketing power that keeps local cash registers ringing even in the e-commerce era. And we offer a powerful
reach and engagement of our audiences as they continue to refer to us as “my newspaper,” in world in which no one says
“My Google” or “my Amazon.”
Join this discussion of the importance of a neighborhood-focused community
newspaper as we compose, manufacture and hand-deliver to a paid audience daily
comprised of Lake Havasu City households. We’re the first place our readers turn to
when they want to know what’s going on in vibrant, growing community called Lake
Havasu City.
We have products that reach from ages 16-90, and are able to reach the right audience
with the right platform for you to gain new customers. We tailor our publishing efforts
to the full-time and winter resident, plus the seasonal visitor marketplaces. Let us show
you the value of our reader and ways to reach them!

Demographically, our print audience is above the market average in terms of income, education, home ownership and
being employed full time. People who are typically labeled “more upscale” – meaning higher income, higher education,
professional/managerial occupations – all count themselves as newspaper readers.
Our editorial environment adds more credibility and legitimacy to your brand. To readers, the advertising in newspaper
advertising is a valuable commodity to them.
Newspapers have value to our readers. They pay to get their newspaper delivered to their home every day. We’re invited
into their homes, and so can you be!

TODAY’S NEWS-HERALD
The Number #1 Source for news and advertising in Lake Havasu City!
Today’s News-Herald is a paid daily audited circulation newspaper. We are proud to be audited by an industry recognized authority that national
advertisers and agencies rely on for accurate circulation figures.
We offer a deep calendar of daily editorial perspectives written by our staff and nationally-syndicated political columnists, national news and sports, and
more importantly, we cover local community news, weather, sports and events. It’s crucial for our readers to be informed about both the good and bad
things that affect our community, because we will keep you up-to-date on public safety issues, new attractions, upcoming elections, changes in local
policy, and news businesses before they even begin construction. We’re in the know.
After all, early 90 percent of Americans say they prefer to get their news straight from a reliable source such as a newspaper rather than hearing it from
friends online or through other sources. Newer media come and go, but the format of newspapers has held strong throughout the decades thanks to the
unbeatable nature for capturing the spirit of a community. In addition to the coverage of local government education, local business openings and High School sports, community papers give local readers exactly what they want: Information on what’s going on in their immediate surroundings, which is
information that’s not as easy to come by on the internet. Local print newspapers are still the go-to source for quality community news.
In a word, audience. No other media has such a diverse and loyal engaged audience.
