One of the pre-requisite of co-existence is the formation of communities and at a very fundamental level a community enables mutual sharing of information either in the form of gestures, oral form, written or visual form. Technically this is what a community newspaper does and this page that we are putting up here is dealing with the features of various community dailies that are published across the country. In this section we would be primarily providing you access to various community news companies which deal in the distribution and sales of various local dailies in the country. Most of these limited companies are zone specific, like the Community Newspaper Group in Perth, Western Australia or the Cumberland Newspapers which is a zonal division of the news Limited. More than seventy five thousand customers are estimated for local community newspapers every week and these dailies primarily cover details of what is happening in your immediate locality – that is it gives you a fair idea about the local political environment, the new fashion store in the county, the new movie that has released in the town, the trade scene at the local market etc. What is unique to these community newspapers is the manner in which they are closely etched to the lives of the local people. You don’t necessarily have to be a celebrity to be in news. An event in your family, like a marriage or your kid winning a scholarship in a prestigious institution is covered in these community dailies. So at a very basic level a community newspaper is inclusive in its report making as well as it encourages immense local participation. This characteristic is in that sense exclusive to a local daily and that is exactly their unique selling proposition. Apart from this a local daily functioning within the boundaries of a locality is directly experiencing the news through its reporters and their kin who might be involved in the event. Apart from this, there is sense of belonging that the locals would feel for their community daily. These are the various contributing factors to the high circulation of community news papers.
