Your community connection. Trusted advice on community newspaper market research and campaign plann Together we represent nearly 700 newspapers.

Alberta’s community newspapers reflect the images, thoughts and everyday happenings of the communities they serve. While these communities may vary in size from tiny, isolated locations to bustling suburban centres, they share one important feature — a strong weekly newspaper. Today there are over 110 member newspapers throughout Alberta and the Northwest Territories. They boast a combined verifie

d circulation of approximately 800,000. The smallest newspaper circulates 466 copies each week; the largest – 27,540. We are part of a Canada-wide network of Community Newspapers through the Canadian Community Newspapers Association (CCNA), together with six other provincial associations.

Coleen was 20 years old when she started working at the Taber Times in Alberta. She did not realize that she would fall in love with community newspapers and that this would be the start of a four-decades-long career in Alberta newspapers.
