Help Yourself With “Shop Local” Coverage

How important is shop local to your community? Publications large and small have told Metro that one of the many lessons learned in our recent economic upheaval of the past couple of years is that shopping locally is vital to the financial well-being of every community, and therefore promoting shop local campaigns is just as vital to the success of your publication. For those reasons, Metro supplies you with shop local material in every Metro Newspaper Service issue.
