POWERFUL REACH THROUGH OFFICIAL MILITARY NEWSPAPERS
Military Newspapers remain one of the most trusted, high-impact methods of communication on military bases. With a combined circulation of over 2 million copies, these official publications reach active-duty personnel, federal employees, military spouses, retirees, reservists, and civilians living in surrounding base communities. For advertisers, Military Newspapers offer unmatched access to a loyal, disciplined, and responsive audience.
Published weekly or bi-weekly by military commands or their contracted partners, Military Newspapers serve as the “hometown newspapers” for the military. They include base news, national defense coverage, family resources, morale and welfare updates, commissary and exchange promotions, and more—all surrounded by advertising opportunities that build visibility and credibility for brands.
WHY MILITARY NEWSPAPERS WORK
According to official Army and Air Force surveys, Military Newspapers are read by up to 90% of active-duty personnel. They remain the only print media authorized to be distributed directly to barracks, base housing units, offices, and other secure workspaces on military installations. No civilian newspapers or commercial publications are permitted in these areas, making Military Newspapers the exclusive source of printed information for many service members.
Each base controls its own newspaper circulation. On average, one copy is printed for every four people attached to the base. This ensures efficiency, accountability, and widespread access.
