 HEART OF THE VALLEY 

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Today Publishing covers the heart of the Farmington Valley and beyond via community news that matters nationwide we produce a true Valley publication focusing on the five core Valley towns: 
• Avon • Canton • Farmington
• Granby • Simsbury 

     ——————————————

     Today Magazine, our monthly digital publication, reaches the far-flung online world and ads are linked to advertiser websites. 

     ——————————————

     We also share news via Today Online — our news site that likewise reaches the online digital realm across the Valley, throughout Connecticut and around the world with our compelling news and cogent advertising. 

     ——————————————

     When Today Publishing produces our glossy print-and-digital magazine, it is mailed to every residence and business in Avon, Canton, Farmington, Granby and Simsbury — a Special Print + Digital Edition is in the works, and having Today Magazine in print certainly benefits every advertiser who wants to reach the strategic Valley market. 

     Keep reading to learn why!

     ——————————————

     We mail to all of Granby, but two other Valley mags traditionally haven't done so — and they reach only a smaller subset of homes ... a limited upper-income demographic. 

     ——————————————

     When our award-winning publication is printed, Today Magazine reaches not only the entire upper-income demographic of the Valley's five strategic core towns but also every other residential and business address in the Farmington Valley — 100% distribution with more than double the audience of other Valley mags ... at a far lower Cost Per 1000. 

     ——————————————

     In order for local journalism to truly be community journalism, we believe ​a publication needs to be accessible to everyone in the community — makes sense, right?

     ——————————————

     Every Farmington Valley resident is valuable, regardless of income — and while conventional wisdom says it's beneficial for advertisers to reach only an upper-income audience, we believe it's evident that the best value for our readers and advertisers is reaching the entire Valley with our unique take on community news.

 OUR VISION 

•••••••••••••••

At Today Magazine, our goal is to inform and enhance the Farmington Valley community and beyond — recording Connecticut's underreported upside and giving advertisers a powerful platform for boosting their brand

——————————————

We want to be community-building, family-friendly and resident-centered.

     We focus not on the news, but on the people who make the news. 

     We also believe everyone has a story to tell, so we spotlight the residents who make these towns.

     Five towns, one aim — exceptional community journalism.
