Commuter newspaper information


A commuter newspaper is a class of newspapers that are often free daily newspapers and "part of a lifestyle of commuting into work. They represent a 'fast read' for those with busy lifestyles, and tend to be rack-selected take-ones."[1] The first commuter newspapers included Vancouver's The Georgia Straight, the Montreal Mirror, and New York City's The Village Voice.[2]

In keeping with the newspaper's intention to provide brief and direct accounts of the day's news, the paper's writing is more simplistic, intended to give readers the facts and news they desire succinctly. Accordingly, there are fewer sections in Metro than a traditional paper, and each section is much thinner. Instead of relying on subscriptions these papers are usually supported by advertising revenue.[2]
