The Chicago Reader, a pioneer of the weekly alternative press, is one of the largest and most successful AAN publications, recognized throughout the industry for both editorial excellence and low advertising rates. It publishes an average of 200 pages per week in a unique four-section format that offers advertisers a variety of editorial environments: Section One contains the Reader's award-winning feature articles, columns, and criticism. Section Two contains previews and listings of movies, theater, and arts events, plus restaurant listings and reviews and the Reader's popular Matches personal ads. Section Three is devoted entirely to music, with columns and listings covering Chicago's huge club and concert scene. Section Four combines classified ads with popular cartoons and features.
The Reader also publishes a suburban weekly, The Reader's Guide to Arts & Entertainment. Together the two publications reach more than 350,000 active, well-educated young adults. About 72 percent are single and 46 percent are between 18 and 34.
