August 2020 Arizona Newspaper Directory How to Use this Directory
While researching the newspapers for the information in this directory I spoke to countless staff members about our cause, as I was trying to get two jobs done at the same time. I wanted to place ads free of charge for volunteers and also advertise our Friday Webinars. Most of the staff I encountered seemed hurried and disinterested but a few of them took the time to ask questions and offer advice. I’ve highlighted in yellow these few people, as they stand out as potential resources for AZELO. A good starting point when using this directory, would be to target these highlighted people first.
This directory is meant to be a living document. Contact Marie MacWhyte at (360) 306-1532 (voice or text) or [email protected] if corrections or additions are needed. Like many other industries during our tumultuous times, the newspaper industry is an area of constant change, and only by continuingly updating this directory will we have a reliable resource.
I’ve arranged the newspapers by county with the most populated counties appearing first. After county, comes parent company. I discovered that very often, several newspapers reside under one umbrella, with one classified ad manager, one event designer, and often one editor overseeing several newspapers, and a submission to one will make it into one or more newspapers, especially if you specify how much coverage you are targeting. Therefore, all newspapers under the jursidiction of one editorial staff are listed by parent company.
I hope you find this directory useful! Marie MacWhyte Table of Contents
