About
Reach Canada's most popular medium
Owned and operated by the Canadian Community Newspapers Association (CCNA), the Community Content service offers access to over 1,200 newspapers from all parts of the country in both official languages. Your message has the potential to reach millions of readers weekly. 71 per cent of Canadians read their community newspaper — make sure that your message is heard.
Recent results from the ComBase and StatHebdo readership studies show that community newspapers have a wider issue-reach than any other medium. The editors of over 1,200 community newspapers are subscribed to Community Content, and your message gets delivered right to their e-mail inbox or fax machine from a source they trust. As well, the Community Content Archive gives editors and ad managers immediate on-line access to your message for at least one year. The CCNA is the definitive voice of the community press in Canada. This dynamic and thriving industry delivers a combined weekly circulation of over 17 million copies.
