The newspaper is also available on digital platforms in order to reach the maximum number of its target market through cell phones, computers, digital television sets and other electronic gadgets that can get into the internet. Our specific target market are young-adults of 16 – 45 years of age from semi-urban settlements of all races found in the greater Richards Bay area (King Cetshwayo District Municipal area; Ilembe District Municipality’s northern areas; Umzinyathi District Municipality’s eastern areas; Umkhanyakude District Municipal area; Zululand Municipal area and parts of Amajuba Municipal area). Some people question our title naming, but we ask them about The New York Times and the Sowetan. In reality a title is just a title it does not lock one newspaper to a particular magisterial jurisdiction. We intend to spread through-out KZN within a year. We offer our advertisers the power to cover the greater Bay Area with a single buy, or to target customers by location or demographics down to the postal code level — efficiently and seamlessly, with reach and pe*******on no other media can match. We also have a news title that covers stories of each KwaZulu Natal District Municipal area. If you would like to advertise with us please send an e-mail to [email protected]
