Advertising Information (updated July 31, 2013)
COMPANY HISTORY The Post was created in 1985 to provide local businesses with cost-effective marketing exposure. No other newspaper in Northeast Alabama or Northwest Georgia provides the unequaled service, value and coverage you get with The Post. Here are just a few of the reasons why: • Weekly distribution of 17,500 copies -- FIVE TIMES as many as the other local paper. That's over 43,000 readers each week! • The Post provides FREE classified and personal ads in most categories. No other paper does that! • Our editorial content –– from local and state news to our weekly "Cherokee News" section to editorial columns by award-winning editor Scott Wright, and the always hilarious "Road Apples" by (Society of Professional Journalists award winner) Tim Sanders –– is the perfect blend of local news and sports, human interest, current events and humor. We also include unique feature columns from local authors, politicians and writers, a chance to broaden your mind and learn about the past, a full page of games and puzzles for kids and adults, local school athletic event results, church listings and MUCH MORE! • The Post is Cherokee County's only home-owned weekly. Cherokee County's other local newspaper is owned by an out-of-state company. All profits generated from The Post remain in Cherokee County and contribute to the local economy.
