Republican now mailed to all Cazenovia residences Beginning this week, every residence and business in the 13035 zip code will receive an edition of the Cazenovia Republican in the mail. Having served the Cazenovia community for more than two centuries, the Cazenovia Republican is one of the oldest continuously running newspapers in upstate New York. Although it has historically been a subscriber-based newspaper, the Republican will now go to
every home in the market. “We believe we have the editorial and advertising staff in place now to be an even more effective local newspaper for the Cazenovia community,” said publisher David Tyler. “We want to be the go-to source for local news for all Cazenovians, as well as the most effective means by which Cazenovia businesses can communicate with their clients. This change will help us better ac-
complish both missions.” The editor of the Republican is Pierce Smith. On the advertising side are Daniel Riordan and Jeanette Michael. All three live in Cazenovia and are involved in community-based organizations. In the coming weeks, the Republican will ask residents to fill out and mail back postage-paid cards indicating they would like to receive the Republican at no cost
to them. By filling out, signing and returning this card, residents will help the Republican reduce the cost of mailing a copy of the newspaper to each 13035 address. These cards will be inserted into the Republican for three consecutive weeks beginning with the edition of April 13. For those outside the 13035 zip code, the Republican will continue to offer paid subscriptions. The baSee Distribution, page 12
