Mothers News is a monthly 11x17" onesheet newspaper printed in Providence RI to the benefit of all. Mothers News contains everything that all newspapers have- it is rectangular and there are comics and gossip, thinly veiled opinions (and the other kind), and advertisements.

Current issues are distributed free of charge to coffee shops, pizza places, record stores, book stores, performance venues and so forth, following which they begin a secondary distribution route to bathrooms, foyers, and cut-off jeans shorts butt pockets. if you would like the next issue mailed to you for free, please send a SASE to the address listed below.

Mothers News is supported by advertising, t-shirt sales, subscriptions, and donations.

All ads are 2.5 inches wide. you may supply your own graphic (black and white, 300 dpi) or we will happily design one.

rates for the next issue (September 2010) are just $10 an inch!

1" - $10

1.5" - $15

3" - $20
(save $10!)

Please be aware that advertising is not limited to traditional businesses but includes bands, devotionals, personal recognizance, and so forth. Also while submitting an ad please be aware that it will be seen by thousands of people indefinitely-- each issue is printed in an edition of 1000, and because of the bold snappy writing and confusing epithets each individual copy of Mothers News tends to pass hand to hand, seen by scores of unique readers. THATS GOOD BUSINESS SENSE! To reserve ad space in the next issue use the order form above or email info@mothersnews.net. please include advertising text, and if you'd like to design it yourself, send finished black and white artwork!

Mothers News ISN'T A BLOG. It's A NEWSPAPER that you hold in your hands and read or draw doodles in or wrap presents in when you are a thrifty grandma. But in the interests of archival whatever, and people being excited, We've decided to put up scans of every issue. We've slightly edited them though, so you'll know that you're looking at the internet, and not a piece of paper. Also, the newspaper is printed in cool colors like green, or purple (pictured), and the scans are in black and white. Also it isn't "news" as such, because it's a month old by the time it gets to the webiste. If you want the real thing subscribe! or send us a SASE and get just the next available issue right when it drops.

Again, the "real" issue of the newspaper doesn't have huge swears writted across it in a translucent screen- we did that special for the internet so you'd kind of feel embarrassed for reading it on the internet... also the passwords have been redacted, for security reasons.
