AN AWARD-WINNING PUBLICATION!!
In addition to being the fastest growing and most sought after sport fishing publication in the Pacific Northwest, THE REEL NEWS has won many awards over the years.
WE’RE GROWING
In these trying economic times, we see some outdoor publications becoming stale or even being forced to close their doors. Not true for THE REEL NEWS.
We are expanding at a tremendous rate and our distribution in sporting goods stores and other outlets keeps growing and growing. Not to mention a strong and enlarging subscriber base. Yes, even though our publication is free at the stores, many readers have elected to subscribe to the printed version and have THE REEL NEWS delivered to their mailbox, OR subscribe to both the printed and digital version.
When we added the COLUMBIA RIVER REGION section a few years ago, it opened up a whole new market filled with “inland” sport fishers to complement our traditional “saltwater” readers.
Although distribution costs increase with expansion, we’ve made every effort to keep advertising costs DOWN! Just compare our rates to the other regional outdoor publications and you’ll see what we mean.
