The Fodder:
An audience for your message. Business owners, advertisers and other communications professionals know only too well how hard it is to reach a carefully defined, specific audience when you have an important message, vision, product or idea that you need to sell.

Sure, you can issue a press release (we’ll reserve judgment on how effective those might be), or even spend a little on advertising in traditional news media, such as the daily newspaper or periodical magazines. It can be an expensive proposition, and risky too, since you are generally expected to cut a cheque for a considerable fixed amount to pay for a campaign—no matter whether that campaign is successful.

There is a better way: advertise or become an official sponsor of Bourque Newswatch. We’re Canada’s Online News Authority and we’ve been in operation since January 1998, serving a wide range of readers from Fortune-500 companies and government departments from all levels, to small- and medium-sized enterprises, not to mention the myriad readers from around the world. We never close. It’s just as common for our always-fresh headlines to be read in the middle of the night as they are at 8:00AM.

Here at Newswatch, there are plenty of great reasons why we describe ourselves as being “Where your audience is.” Let’s start with the most compelling reason of all: we have the numbers to prove it!

Consider the results we obtained in a custom-survey conducted exclusively for us by Pollara Research, Canada’s leading public-opinion research firm:

People visit us often—From a total sample of 1,030 respondents, over three quarters (77%) said they visit Newswatch once or several times a day.

Our readers are influential and come from key demographics—People visit Newswatch because it is a convenient way to get all the key stories of the day without wasting time. Who are these readers? One-third of our respondents are professionals and the majority of which are between the ages of 25 to 54.

Our readers are well educated—Among respondents, almost three out of five (58%) possess a university and post-graduate degree, compared to the national online average (35%). Of those who subscribe to our unique Bourque Newsletter, 87% (that’s almost nine-out-of-ten!) either attended university or graduated with a bachelor’s or a graduate degree.

Our readers are affluent—A generous portion of Newswatch readers are affluent. Nearly half (43%) report household earnings between $75,000 to $100,000+...and that’s significantly higher (11%) that the reported national online average.

We’re wildly popular, especially among men—This summer, Newswatch broke a new record, registering over 10 million visits. Our readers are predominately male (82%): almost double the national online average of Internet users in Canada (48%).

We’re recognized for quality—Approximately three out of every four respondents rates our site as being "very good" or "excellent."


Advertising through Bourque Newswatch makes great sense for all the reasons I’ve outlined so far. But don’t just take my word for it.
