| Since 1975, the New Haven Advocate has served
as both the cultural guide and the main source of
investigative journalism in the area. It has broken
major stories about municipal corruption, brain
cancer at Pratt & Whitney and predatory debt
collection practices at the region’s major hospital.
The paper has been a part of New Haven’s artistic
renaissance, authoritatively covering (and
sponsoring) major arts festivals.
The heart of our circulation area lies in the same
region as Yale and four other major universities;
nearly half of our readers are college-educated,
with a median household income of $53,592.
In recent years, the New Haven Advocate has
grown sharply in retail ad pages, classified ad
pages and circulation.
The New Haven Advocate is part of the 210,000-
circulation Advocate/Weekly group of weeklies.
The four newspapers serve a single market from
Westchester County, New York through
Connecticut and into Springfield and
Northampton Mass., dominating weekly
publishing in this affluent corridor of 4.6 million
between New York City and Boston. |
