Local Newspapers are Important

The Weekly Villager is a family owned and operated publication that focuses on local news, area residents, hometown issues and events. Serving the communities for over 40 years, The Villager is produced every week by local residents who have a desire to show you what is great about the area that we live in!

Your Free Local News Source

Our job is to get every single paper we print into the hands of your potential buyers fast. A free paper allows us to accomplish just that. We strategically place The Villager in locations that our readers visit every day such as restaurants, grocery stores, banks and retail stores so that our papers are available when and where readers want them.

The Villager doesn’t just sit in the racks — over 98% of our newspapers get picked up weekly. With The Villager you get what you pay for — a paper that does not sit in the driveway or clog up a mailbox. You get your message into the hands of qualified, loyal readers who know when and where to find their favorite newspaper every week.
