No cost barriers
The Chitchat is a FREE-TO-READ newspaper. Free newspapers are picked up and read more widely because there’s no cost barrier, meaning your advertisement reaches a larger, more diverse local audience—without spending more.
local eyes
We are proudly print-first – 5000 papers are delivered to the region, with more than 150 pickup locations in various businesses, cafes, and community spaces. Your ad won’t get lost in a sea of online noise – it lands right in the hands of local readers who actually care about what’s going on in their town.
targeted & Trusted
We’re not just another newspaper – we’re a well-known community staple since 1999. Readers turn to us for local news, events, and stories – and they see the ads, they read them, and they respond to them. Studies show print ads hold attention longer and are remembered better than digital. That means more impact for your message, and more value for every dollar you spend.
Affordable

“Chitchat Newspaper is a beautiful embodiment of the community spirit. A professional publication available for FREE in hard copy and digital formats, the Chitchat Newspaper provides valuable information to locals and visitors alike. Full of encouraging local stories, important dates and local contacts, everything is relevant to our area. Through celebrating our people, local news and events and business information, there’s something for everyone. It is a gift to be cherished. Personally, I love reading good news and on that, Chitchat delivers. For our not-for-profit grocery store, the ability to advertise in our local area is such a blessing, helping us get the word out. It’s a newspaper to be read slowly, enjoyed over a quiet time, allowing goodness to soak in. It reminds us we’re all a part of a larger community and not alone.”
