OUR TOWN NEWS has been one of the local area's most popular community news magazines for over fifteen years. OTN began as a weekly newspaper in 1997 with primary distribution rotating through the four zip code zones covering Parkland and Coral Springs. In October 2010 OTN switched from a newspaper to a more accessable magazine format.  Over 50,000 copies are distributed by the U.S. Post Office to area homes and businesses during each four week cycle.  The OTN "Great Values" Coupon Book is included as an insertion in mailed copies of the magazine.  Several thousand additional copies of the magazine and coupon book are hand delivered weekly to numerous businesses and offices throughout Coral Springs, Parkland, Coconut Creek, Tamarac, Pompano Beach, Boca Raton and Margate, Florida.

MARGATE Our Town News is being published in partnership with The City of Margate to serve as the community news magazine for the City. OTN is working closely with city officials to provide important city and community news through this publication with copies mailed to every home and business in Margate (over 28,000 copies).

OTN also publishes the monthly Festival Times for the Festival Flea Market Mall.  This newspaper is distributed free of charge to the thousands of weekly visitors to the Mall.  The Festival Times is the exclusive advertising vehicle within the Mall and includes the Directory of the over 500 businesses with a map of their locations.  

OTN’s continuing commitment is to be an ever growing force in supporting the local community and contributing to the success of our advertising partners.
