Canadian Forces Newspapers (CFNs), which are operated under the authority of the Base/Wing Commanders, are supported by base fund contributions, some of which emanate from CANEX and SISIP FS and from advertising revenues. The CFN National Advertising Program was designed to respond to national advertisers wanting to reach the CF community at several bases across Canada. This program facilitates national advertisers purchasing ads in multiple CFNs or in all of the 15 weekly or biweekly Base/Wing newspapers, whereas local advertising sales include ads in individual CFNs only.

The solid, relevant and timely content of these papers reaches a dedicated readership of CF members Canada-wide and beyond, meeting advertisers’ objectives and maximizing their investment.

Most of the 15 CFNs print weekly editions for a system-wide total of over 400 editions per year with a combined circulation of approximately 70,000 per all-CFNs edition.

In 2003/2004, the CFN policy was reviewed to address some operational concerns. An amended policy will be issued in fiscal year 2004/2005.
