Reach the People Who Live, Work, and Spend Here
Our news stories reach thousands of locals every day – make sure your brand does too.
Not All Impressions are Created Equal…
When you advertise with platforms that don’t know your community – or care about your success – your message gets buried. We do things differently.
At Source Media – the home of Ashland Source, Richland Source, and Knox Pages – your brand shows up in the middle of something real: trusted local journalism your customers actually seek out.
🤖 No bots. No guessing. Just real local people.
🐱 No competing with cat videos or clickbait headlines
📰 Advertising that supports journalism – not just algorithms
Your ideal customers? They’re already here
Our readers are homeowners, voters, business leaders, parents, and neighbors. They’re the people who make decisions – and they trust us to keep them informed.

Your Community Is Already Listening. Make Sure They Hear You.
Every day, thousands of locals choose to spend time with us — not for entertainment, but to stay informed about their community. They invite our stories into their lives — on their phones, in their inboxes, and over their morning coffee.
When your business appears in that space, you’re not just running an ad — you’re making a statement:
👉 You care about this community, and you’re part of what keeps it strong.
That kind of association matters.
People notice the brands that show up alongside news they trust — not random billboards or noisy social feeds. And we make sure your presence there is meaningful.
Our team is dedicated to your success. We listen to your goals, adapt your campaign as needed, and provide clear, honest reporting. With a dedicated client support specialist by your side, you’ll always know where you stand — and where you’re headed.
