About Us
Established in 1994, the Riverside Reader is in its 12th year of business. Over that time our mailed circulation has grown consistently to the point that we now enjoy the largest mailed circulation of any free community weekly in Louisiana.
The Riverside Reader has strong editorial content which includes all of the following:
a) an editorial page featuring former Louisiana Secretary of State & Insurance Commissioner Jim Brown
b) a community calendar listing all the happenings on the westside and beyond
c) local weekly columnists from the communities we serve
d) local news and features you would expect to find in a paid newspaper
Our goal is to be a newspaper with value to the reader and NOT be another “throw-away paper.” As a newspaper filled with local content relevant to our readers, our advertisers get the benefit of advertising in a Total Market Circulation paper that actually has a strong, loyal readership base.
From White Castle to Lettsworth and from Baton Rouge to Krotz Springs, the Riverside Reader is mailed to over 30,600 addresses reaching approximately 80,000 people each week in five parishes— Iberville, West Baton Rouge, Pointe Coupee, St. Landry and East Baton Rouge.
In tight economic times, shouldn’t you be looking for the the biggest bang for your buck?
You’ve just found it.
Positive Content, Process Color, and Total Market Coverage at an affordable price.
No other publication on the West Side gives you so much for so little.
