Greetings!
If you're not familiar with us yet, THE PHOENICIA TIMES and THE OLIVE PRESS are the primary local newspapers of the Route 28 corridor in Ulster County. By circulation or readership, they are the two largest newspapers in Ulster County after the The Daily Freeman.
Editorially, the papers cover primarily the 20 zip codes and 24 hamlets comprising most of central & western Ulster County. This core territory, an area the size of Westchester County, runs from West Hurley to the Ulster-Delaware county line at Highmount. We are the only mass-circulation, saturation-coverage print media for this nearly 400 square mile area, although our actual regular readership extends beyond that into the towns of Woodstock, Middletown including Margaretville, Lexington, Hunter, and Marbletown. With our basic circulation now up to more than 12,000 copies and nearly 30,000 readers per issue, we often increase our print runs to 14,000 or more, to service seasonal visitor traffic to the region.
The papers publish every other Thursday and are distributed free to readers via the US Postal Service to every mailing address for the more than 16,000 full and part-time residents of our primary coverage area. The balance of the papers are distributed through about 70 local retail businesses, and are read both by visitors to the region and by residents of neighboring towns.
