Stat Your Own Local Newspaper
Free Online Help
Here's the Best Part: You Can Do It
1. Work at home
No matter where you live - in a house, in an apartment, or wherever - you
can start a newspaper, using your own home as your office. Now you may
prefer, later on, to have an office away from home, for any number of
reasons. But getting started, you can work from home.
2. Own your own business
There are two appealing reasons to start and run your own newspaper
publishing business. First, it's your very own business. You can make a
living doing what you want to do. Second, it's a business you can start
with very little or no money up front. I started with no capital at all.
Do you like to write? Enjoy taking pictures? Like talking with people?
Do you want to participate in the community? Then a newspaper could be the
business you've been looking for.
3. Create good jobs for others
Starting even a small newspaper or community advertiser can bring new jobs
into your area. Your newspaper will very likely grow into a business that
requires more work than you will want to do alone. Events in the community
will need to be covered, people in different locations will need their
pictures taken, often at the same time. Soon, you'll be paying students,
stay-at-home moms or others to help out. And in time you may have several
full time employees.
Not a Franchise, But a Real Newspaper Business of Your Own
Publish every week, or once every two weeks, or once a month. Cover the
local news, publish nothing but classified ads, or cover a special topic,
such as personal health, real estate, family & faith, arts & skills or
business. Sell subscriptions or publish a free paper, earning income from
advertisers alone. Build your paper according to your own style and
interests.
Owning your own local newspaper is lots of work, lots of fun, and can be
very profitable. You can provide an important service to your local
community or region. You can help to make good things happen in your area.
Your whole life can be filled with exciting challenges and new ideas every
week.

Great comments about the Press and our freedoms:
"There is a terrific disadvantage in not having the abrasive quality of the
press applied to you daily. Even though we never like it, and even though we
wish they didn't write it, and even though we disapprove, there isn't any
doubt that we could not do the job at all in a free society without a very,
very active press." -John F. Kennedy
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
"If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are
censored, we must redouble our efforts here to keep it free. Books may be
burned and cities sacked, but truth, like the yearning for freedom, lives in
the hearts of humble men and women." -Franklin Delano Roosevelt
"By a declaration of rights, I mean one which shall stipulate freedom of
religion, freedom of the press, freedom of commerce against monopolies,
trial by juries in all cases, no suspensions of the habeas corpus, no
standing armies. These are fetters against doing evil which no honest
government should decline." -Thomas Jefferson
"Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited
without being lost." -Thomas Jefferson
"The free press is the mother of all our liberties and of our progress under
liberty." -Adlai E. Stevenson
"The most important service rendered by the press and the magazines is that
of educating people to approach printed matter with distrust." -Samuel
Butler
