Advertise in the Williamsport Guardian
![]() |
Dear Friend,
Here's what you've been looking for - an exciting way to reach new audiences in our region. The Williamsport Guardian is a bimonthly newspaper that encourages dialogue about important local, national, and international issues. The Guardian strives to include articles voicing viewpoints not already expressed in existing Williamsport media. An advertisement in the Guardian is not only a good way to reach younger and more diverse audiences. It's also a great way to help new voices find expression in our community. We have a low ad ration so that your message is sure to stand out. We distribute 10,000 free copies of The Williamsport Guardian ten times yearly. The paper is available free in restaurants, stores, colleges and other venues in Williamsport and other communities in twelve counties in north-central PA. We hope you'll consider placing an advertisement in The Williamsport Guardian, a publication that promotes different perspectives and a positive outlook on our region and reaches thousands of households in the region. If you have any questions, I can be reached at (570) 323-2244, or advertising@williamsportguardian.org. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Helen Gould Advertising Manager |
