The Bridge is a great way to both get the word out about what you’re offering and support your local independent paper. We print 10,300 copies of the paper, and distribute them at a wide range of Washington County locations — plus, each issue is mailed free to
every 05602 household. Our focus is ultra-local, our stories are well written, our paper is professionally edited and laid out and we’ve got one of the most comprehensive and well-read online
local events calendars. We’ve got a reputation as a quality paper, and we have a strong following of local readers who care about the issues and people that matter to our community. Advertising in
