Local

 


Your message hits
close to home with Local
 

LOCAL EDITIONS PROVIDE
TARGETED ADVERTISING

The Local News section of the Mercury News covers the issues that hit close to home. It's where readers get the top stories of the Bay Area and more specifically, their own corner of it. In fact, the Mercury News has four specific sections to target your message to your best potential customers.
  • The Valley
  • Northern California
  • Local News
  • Alameda

BOOST SALES WITH STRONG
COMMUNITY SUPPORT

Filled with information about specific neighborhoods, LOCAL is an important vehicle for building customer loyalty and sales among local residents.
