Advertising with Responsive Newspapers
Reach the Communities That Matter Most
The Village News and Southwest News give local businesses a direct line to readers throughout Southwest Houston, Bellaire, West University Place, and Southside Place — the communities that have trusted this publication for more than 40 years.
Why advertise with us
A trusted local voice for more than 40 years.
Advertising in a community newspaper is different from advertising anywhere else. Readers choose to pick up the paper. They are engaged, local, and invested in the communities they live in.
Local community reach
Your advertisement reaches readers who live, work, and spend money in the communities you serve — Bellaire, West University Place, Southside Place, and Southwest Houston.
Established reputation
The Village News and Southwest News have been a trusted part of the local community since 1985. Advertising alongside trusted editorial content carries real weight.
Print visibility
A physical newspaper is read at home, at the kitchen table, and shared with family. Print advertising commands attention in a way that digital formats often cannot.
Digital visibility
Reach readers wherever they are through the newspaper's digital presence, extending your campaign beyond the printed page.
E-Edition exposure
Every print advertisement appears in the online E-Edition at no additional cost. Readers who access the paper digitally see your advertisement exactly as it appears in print.
Support for local journalism
Advertising with a locally-owned, independent newspaper directly supports the community journalism that keeps residents informed and connected.
Advertising options
Print. Digital. E-Edition.
Three complementary formats — each designed to reach local readers where they are.

03
E-Edition Advertising
Every print ad, online at no extra cost.
The online E-Edition displays the same advertisements that appear in print. Every print advertisement is displayed in the E-Edition at no additional cost, so advertising clients are not disenfranchised because their advertisement cannot be seen online.
Advertisers with websites listed in their advertisements can have those websites hot-linked so readers can immediately visit their websites.
