'the PAPER' has a circulation of over 25,400. The concept of these reader-friendly publications is total saturation coverage—street by street and house by house—in much of this four-county area. 'the PAPER' has captured 1st- and 2nd-place honors numerous times in the "General Excellence" category in national competitions among free distribution weekly papers.

Our strong, readable publications have also brought us a host of local, state and national awards from such organizations as Hoosier State Press Association, Association of Free Community Papers and Independent Free Papers of America. Among those awards have been numerous first, second and third place honors for news, feature and editorial writing, photography, graphics and special sections. Included in the array of honors were back-to-back prestigious American Legion Auxiliary's choice for the national Golden Press Award and "America's Best Local Editorial".
