Local, personal, relevant and hand-delivered - these are the qualities which give the Darwin and Palmerston Sun Newspapers such wide appeal in the Top End of the Northern Territory.

The "Suns" are the NT's only free weekly community newspapers, and are compiled at the Suns Palmerston office, a 15-minute drive from the city of Darwin.

Published every Wednesday, 29,500 copies of the Darwin and Palmerston Sun Newspapers are hand-delivered to letterboxes at 21,000 homes throughout Darwin and its northern suburbs.
Another 8000 copies are distributed to Palmerston and its suburbs, as well as bulk drops at cafes, GPOs and shopping centres.

"Access is what we are about, and what we strive to deliver,'' said Sun Newspapers' Manager Tiina Urvet.

The Suns' news team place a strong emphasis on "proactive or positive'' content.

"We like to tackle controversial stories, as long as we are able to explore solutions,'' said Editor Renee Orr.

An eight-page TV and entertainment guide, fishing column, trades and services directory, classifieds and great competitions complete the Sun's weekly offering.

"Competitive display and classified advertising prices, coupled with free distribution and target-specific campaigns make us an attractive marketing tool for many local and national businesses,'' added Tiina Urvet.
