Why advertise?
There are many advantages to placing your ad in the Montague Reporter. Weekly newspapers have in-home longevity. Your ad in the Montague Reporter may stay around the house a few days longer than in a daily. By dedicating our coverage to Montague, Gill, Erving, Leverett and Wendell – something the larger dailies can’t do – you’re guaranteed a local audience.
