About the Daniel Island News

 

The Daniel Island News is a modified weekly newspaper with a magazine feel that also includes feature photography. We go to great lengths to cover all aspects of island life on Daniel Island, from local interest stories, local sports, student events and business items to more complicated matters affecting our local government.

The Daniel Island News is published on newsprint but has a magazine feel. The print size per page is 10 inches wide by 11.25 inches high. The page format is typically one of four columns. This format has proved to be more dynamic in appearance than other formats, creating higher reader interest and more powerful results for our advertisers.

Our publication is printed on newspaper, has a full-color cover and back cover and includes color pages inside. We generally print between 32 and 40 pages per week.

There is no other community in the Charleston area that has a paper of this quality. In fact, few towns and cities of any size will be able to match it. The paper is a local product, designed, written and distributed by a local company and enjoys the support of the local community. The paper, its writers, editors, designers, and salespeople have won multiple industry awards for writing, design, and sales promotions.

The editorial content is designed to create the highest and most favorable reader response, thus creating a positive response to the advertisements of our customers. The Daniel Island News has lots of neat, appealing features:

 

  • A weekly theme. Past issues have featured scuba diving, professional women?s tennis, gardening, South Carolina revolutionary war history, alligator control, golf and many, many more. The first issue of every month focuses on various Lowcountry sports topics and is aptly named First Thursday Sports Edition.
  • Features and profiles of leading personalities, creative talents, and people who get things done in every walk of life.
