Green, left and rural

You may be surprised to learn that over one in 10 of Â鶹´«Ã½ Weekly subscribers are from rural areas. On the whole, these are areas where Â鶹´«Ã½ is not sold on the street. Subscribing to Â鶹´«Ã½ in these towns involves a very conscious decision, by people who certainly appreciate the alternative it provides.

Â鶹´«Ã½ has subscribers in the country from Armidale to Yass and from Bendigo to Ballarat, in all states in Australia. It's a section of our subscriptions base that we'd like to see grow.

Â鶹´«Ã½ is not a purely urban newspaper. The concerns we field are broader than city streets. Â鶹´«Ã½ Weekly doesn't fall into the trap of assuming that everyone in country areas is conservative and votes National Party.

If you are a country subscriber to Â鶹´«Ã½ Weekly, you might be surprised to learn that you're not the only subscriber in your town. You might be surprised also at the positive response that some friends or work mates will have to the paper when you show it to them. Why not leave a few back copies strategically placed in the lunch room? Â鶹´«Ã½ is the paper for every person who wants a political alternative, even in the country.

It's not always possible to have an impact in your own backyard. By recruiting country subscribers in your region, you can help entrench the alternative in the country. Â鶹´«Ã½ Weekly it's your paper. Help build the alternative.

You need Â鶹´«Ã½, and we need you!
