Green, left and rural

Issue 

You may be surprised to learn that over one in 10 of Green Left Weekly subscribers are from rural areas. On the whole, these are areas where Green Left is not sold on the street. Subscribing to Green Left in these towns involves a very conscious decision, by people who certainly appreciate the alternative it provides.

Green Left has subscribers in the country from Armidale to Yass and from Bendigo to Ballarat, in all states in Australia. It's a section of our subscriptions base that we'd like to see grow.

Green Left is not a purely urban newspaper. The concerns we field are broader than city streets. Green Left Weekly doesn't fall into the trap of assuming that everyone in country areas is conservative and votes National Party.

If you are a country subscriber to Green Left Weekly, you might be surprised to learn that you're not the only subscriber in your town. You might be surprised also at the positive response that some friends or work mates will have to the paper when you show it to them. Why not leave a few back copies strategically placed in the lunch room? Green Left is the paper for every person who wants a political alternative, even in the country.

It's not always possible to have an impact in your own backyard. By recruiting country subscribers in your region, you can help entrench the alternative in the country. Green Left Weekly it's your paper. Help build the alternative.
