Newspaper? What's that?
Oh, you mean one of those things from a hundred years ago, where they used to actually use ink to print the history of what happened the day before on thin paper, then leave it in your yard to get soaked by the sprinkler system so you could throw the soggy mess into the trash? Haven't seen one of those in decades. Do they actually still make those? Thought they went out with the buggy-whip.

I run ads. This is a small town so everyone reads the Sunday paper.

I would go to USPS.COM and look at the option of doing a "mailer" to certain Zip Codes. I did it and it worked out GREAT! I have a guy in town here that creates full color, glossy, and double sided 5x7 postcard mailers with the postal code on the other side. He charged me $175 for 1000 of them. I then took them to the Post office and enrolled in the program and they shipped them to different Zip Codes in the area for me for 15 cents a card. Came out to $145 bucks but it worked out for me pretty well. I'd try that and see how it works.
