Marinscope Community Newspapers - Local News, Local Readers. Five Newspapers . . . . connecting the communities of Marin. 

Marin Scope, Inc. publishes five community newspapers, the Sausalito Marin Scope, San Rafael Newspointer, Twin Cities Times, Ross Valley Reporter, and the Mill Valley Herald.  We offer our advertisers and readers greater single day penetration than competitors in Marin County with a distribution of over 39,500 copies and growing.  In addition, we offer an attractive web site to post online advertising and supplement the news of our papers.  Marin Scope Inc. covers targeted local news and is an established communications venue in the Marin community. All five newspapers are legally adjudicated providing exceptional public access and coverage for your legal needs as well.

Marinscope newspapers are well regarded within their communities for providing exceptional local news coverage. The newspapers are printed in a broadsheet format, typically running in two sections totaling 12-pages or more with full process color available on half the total pages.  The "A" section focuses on community news while the "B" or InScope section covers more broad Marin County news, events and entertainment.

These newspapers are attractive, well-designed newspapers that don't skimp on local news: articles are well-written and edited, offering in-depth coverage of all subjects, from hard news reporting from on-staff reporters and editors to editorials from local columnists and entertainment-related content from area freelance journalists. The same Marin County news content runs in all five weeklies, with plate changes made for local news content specific to each masthead.

A common third section often appears in all of these newspapers, usually in tabloid format. These include a Marin Preferred Homes real estate section, a dining guide, and other special sections produced in cooperation with the advertising staff. 

In addition to the newspapers, print brokering falls under the umbrella of Marin Scope Inc.  Marin Scope Inc. offers its customers both cold web and heat-set glossy printing with magazine quality, perfect-bound spines and a wide variety of products types and sizes and competitive prices.  Customized print prices are available for our customers for print & distribution or print-only.

The company offers "one-stop" shopping for advertising needs in print, online, printing of business cards/letterhead, Post It notes, single sheet flyers, and multi-page preprints.

Event and venue sponsorship is offered on several levels.  Sponsorship packages are tailor made to each business or company.  Marin Scope, Inc. offers specially priced packages that provide print coverage of the event, printed materials including program guides and distribution of promotional materials regarding the event.  We can even assist with other media placement through partners.
