The Wayne Independent, established in 1878 by Benjamin F. Haines is the only daily newspaper serving the 48,000 residents of Wayne County.
The paper publishes Tuesday through Saturday.
Distribution varies seasonally between 3,900 and 4,500 per day. About 55 percent of our paid circulation is from subscribers who receive the paper through the mail. About 40 percent comes from the sales in stores, racks and through our newsstands.
The remainder comes through a range of paid distribution means, including Newspapers in Education. Readership of the Wayne Independent is estimated at 12,000 people per day, or 60,000 per week.
Readership is different than paid circulation because it goes beyond who is buying the paper and takes into account such factors as four members of one household reading one paid copy of the paper, or a copy left behind at a business being read by more than one person.
The Wayne Independent also offers a weekly TMC (Total Market Coverage) product, The Extra, which reaches 9,965 homes that do not subscribe to the daily paper.
Combined, the products reach nearly 80% percent of the households in Wayne County.
Our print products are further enhanced by the readership of the Wayne Independent web site, www.wayneindependent.com.
The Web site has grown to more than 15,000 page views per day -- over 450,000 per month and growing. The Wayne Independent offers custom publishing on newsprint as well as specialty items such as placemats, menus and pharmacy bags.
