Newcastle Digest reaches 7,000+ locals every Wednesday morning.
We don't sell ad space. We tell our readers what's worth their time, and sometimes that's your business.

Trust beats an ad
A caption you paid for gets two seconds of attention before someone scrolls past. A feature in Newcastle Digest sits in an inbox until it's actually read, because people signed up wanting to know what's happening locally, not to see an ad.
Who this works for
New openings that need a launch crowd. Events that need bums on seats. Local businesses that want to stay in front of people who already care what's happening in this city.
Not an ad network
We're a local voice 7,000 people chose to let into their inbox. When we mention a business, it reads like a recommendation, because that's what it is.
