Each week, 42,000 copies of New Times are distributed throughout San Luis Obispo County and northern Santa Barbara County at over 500 pickup points.

We keep a sharp eye out for new locations and monitor every pick-up point like a mama bird keeping watch on her brood. When demographics and population patterns shift, so do we. But we don't do it alone. We work closely with Verified Audit Circulation, one of the nation's premire newspaper auditing services.

You'll find New Times maintains controlled placement in outdoor racks and boxes, at hotels and motels, retail stores, banks, shopping centers, restaurants, and nightclubs.

You'll also find us at the region's major learning institutions–Cal Poly, Cuesta College, and Allan Hancock College–as well as at area chambers of commerce.

If you don't find us someplace, that's probably because someone grabbed the last copy.

But you can be sure we'll make note of that and deliver more papers next week.
