Magazines services the Greater Gardner
and Fitchburg-Leominster areas, the Monadnock Region
of New Hampshire, Worcester County, portions of
Middlesex County, Franklin County, Hampden County,
Hampshire County, Berkshire County, and Cape Cod in
Massachusetts.
According to Nielsen Online, 74.1% of the total U.S.
population was online as of August 2009. This is
a remarkable figure of about 228 million internet users out
of total population of about 307 million. Of course,
the total population includes all ages from 1 to 110, so
realistically, it is easy to say that almost everyone who
can afford a computer and internet service is currently
online.
