Advocate Media has been part of the Dallas neighborhood for 30+ years. We offer incredible reader loyalty and authentic engagement with Dallas homeowners. We’ve earned unshakable trust in our content and products the old-fashioned way— by working with our neighbors. Our hope when a neighbor reads our publications is that they've learned something about their neighborhood, their neighbors and themselves. We are dedicated to providing free, hyperlocal news that help neighbors make informed civic and personal decisions. By providing targeted publications for neighborhoods city-wide and without charge to the widest readership possible — without regard for income, race or status — we democratize our city and ensure all communities have a seat at the table.
Operating as a free, hyperlocal publication in several communities, including: Lake Highlands, Lakewood, Oak Cliff, Plano, and Preston Hollow, Advocate Media has transitioned into a nonprofit, 501(c)(3). Advocate Media is now accepting donations from local businesses and neighbors making it possible to continue supporting our communities. People like, trust and engage with the Advocate, associating your brand with ours makes our readers more comfortable spending money with you.
Our goal this year: During this year’s North Texas Giving Day, we’re hoping to raise $10,000 in donations from readers like you to increase our magazine rack locations and deliver to more houses in your neighborhood. Why are we doing this? Because we know our coverage helps you learn more about what's important to you — like discovering new local businesses to support or hearing about community events to attend. Reader surveys showed that 63% of readers have visited a local business and 36% have attended a local event because of our coverage.
Transparency is at the heart of what we do. We demand it from the people in power that we cover and, in turn, are committed to being transparent with our readers. That’s why, over these next few weeks, you’ll be hearing more about our plans for the funds we raise. You deserve to know where your money goes.
We know you value this work. Will you help us do more of what you love?
