Greetings!
If you're not familiar with us yet, THE PHOENICIA TIMES and THE OLIVE PRESS are the only newspapers exclusively covering the 20 zip codes and 24 hamlets comprising the Route 28 corridor, and most of central & western Ulster County. Our territory, some 22 miles long, runs from West Hurley to the Delaware County line at Highmount. We are the only mass-circulation, saturation-coverage media for this nearly 400 square mile area, with over four times the circulation of any other newspapers within it.
With our combined distribution of over 10,000 copies and more than 20,000 readers per issue, we are the second largest non-daily newspaper group in Ulster County. We publish every other Thursday, and we're distributed free to every postal mailing address for the more than 15,000 full and part-time residents of our primary coverage area. We also give away about 4,500 copies of every issue through local businesses, which are read both by visitors to the region and by residents of neighboring towns.
