Northword is distributed bimonthly across northern BC, from Quesnel and Prince George in the south up to the Yukon border, and from Haida Gwaii in the west out to Jasper in the east. Each issue is distributed widely in the towns, cities, and communities of our region, available free to readers at restaurants, pubs, colleges/universities, libraries, book stores, hotels, info centres, and more. We also have a growing subscription list of readers who live outside the region. With 30,000 pairs of eyes on each issue, our advertisers get great exposure across northern BC, reaching a wide range of residents and and tourists alike.

We are the only print publication serving all of northern BC, and we are one of the few independent media organizations left in the region. This means we offer a unique opportunity for advertisers to connect with the population of the North, and do so in a magazine much-loved and eagerly anticipated. Please contact us to receive current rates and detailed file specifications. For an overview, have a browse below or contact us for a copy of our media kit.
