Santa Monica Daily Press

Description

The Santa Monica Daily Press (SMDP) is a top-tier local newspaper servicing Santa Monica, CA, and its surrounding areas, including Venice Beach and West LA. Established as the region's newspaper of record, SMDP offers comprehensive, in-depth reporting from experienced local journalists on a range of topics such as politics, crime, sports, housing, and government. It is distributed for free from Monday to Saturday, with its weekend edition being a highlight.

Unlike other subscription-based print media, SMDP has leveraged its status as a free newspaper to outperform the LA Times in circulation by over 2K within Santa Monica ZIP codes. This strategic positioning has made it the preferred choice for businesses seeking to reach local customers. The demand for SMDP has remained robust as readers find value in its content, with the added benefit of zero subscription costs.

In addition to its print format, SMDP also offers a digital delivery system via its website, smdp.com, which is the most visited local news website in Santa Monica. Its digital newsletter, 'The Current', is delivered daily to double-opted-in subscribers, further expanding its reach and influence. With its dual-medium approach, SMDP has effectively positioned itself as a dominant player in the local media industry.
