History, background and USP’s Bulletin is a popular weekly community newspaper serving numerous communities in Limpopo’s Lowveld. It is published in Afrikaans and English and distributed from Tzaneen, which is the biggest town in Limpopo (Polokwane is the biggest and could rather be called a small city – it is the capital of Limpopo). The interest of the community is first and foremost and the newspaper does not shy away from reporting on controversial issues like service delivery and corruption, in local government as well as in the private sector. It is a sold paper with a distribution of 5 000 copies weekly. Bulletin puts a very high premium on loyalty towards its clients. Known for not pulling punches, the newspaper is widely read and accepted as a reliable source of topical local news and information. It is especially the newspaper’s attitude towards the business community (advertisers) that makes it stand out as service orientated. Bulletin also publishes the AgriBulletin as a free insert once a month which focusses specifically on the agricultural industry and is very popular in this area.
