First published in 1969, The Washington Blade has grown impressively becoming the weekly news source for Washington’s large and visible Gay community. We have been recognized by The Society of Professional Journalists, The American Bar Association, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and others, as a highly professional news organization.
We also recognize our success is due in part to the Blade’s loyal readership. And, we work hard to give them a quality source of news and information they won’t get elsewhere.
When our surveys ask readers, ‘‘Do you consciously patronize businesses which advertise in the Blade?’’ over 90% say ‘yes.’ The most recent Simmons Market Research survey shows our readers are also college educated, active, professional and managerial types, with a penchant for the good things in life and the income to pursue them.
Let our readers bring their generous consumer interests and spending habits to you. The Washington Blade has impressive and effective pulling power with an affluent and responsive market.
