College Newspaper Readership:

Seventy-six percent of all college students have read their campus publication
in the last 90 days, and they read about three out of every five issues, on average.

For 96% of the student population, newspaper advertising is a sought-out source for information. Half of these students have attended an event based on information in an ad; 43% have mentioned an ad to a friend; and nearly one third have researched a product online.

Campus newspapers’ advertising content ranks second only to Internet advertising in terms of personal importance and relevance to students and their campus community.
