On February 10, 2007, exactly three years after we began to layout our first edition,
The New England Press Association awarded The Valley Patriot a coveted NEPA award
for for our coverage of the 2005 flood which included the revelation that National
Red Cross Officials were throwing flood vicims from Lawrence and
Methuen out of a shelter set up at Methuen High School
(see story)

In February 2012 we published our 100th edition!

The Valley Patriot is and has been printed at Graphic Development in Hanover Mass.
We deliver to 20 Market Basket locations, and are in Hannaford's, Sal's Pizza &
Latitude's Sports Clubs. As well as 700 other locations.

Market Basket locatoins are delivered by
Dominion Distributors

Because The Valley Patriot is a monthly newspaper and we restock our locations
throughout the month, advertisers get the added benefit of at least four weeks
of exposure for the cost of one print ad in a daily or a weekly paper.

The Valley Patriot welcomes letters to the editor on any topic. We also welcome
column/article submissions from elected officials, neighborhood associations,
community organizers, average citizens, and newsmakers. Though we may not
agree with the opinions expressed in submissions, our mission is to give
readers the unique opportunity to receive important information from those
who are driving important public issues without the "creative editing" policy employed
by most newspapers. Submissions from guest columnists/writers in The Valley
Patriot are published without the filtered agenda of an editorial board. If
you would like to write a column, letter or article for The Valley Patriot,
