The Tyrone Courier circulates in a wide and prosperous area in the heart of Ulster since 1880. The total population of the area is just under 100,000 and the circulation of the Tyrone Courier in this area is greater than that of any other weekly or daily newspaper.
The popularity of the Tyrone Courier is reflected in the continued steady increase in sales. Circulating in Tyrone, Armagh and South Londonderry, it is read by all sections of the community and has offices in Dungannon and Cookstown.
The large number of classified advertisements in its columns reflects the confidence which the man in the street has in its selling power. While Agriculture is very much to the fore there are many industries in the area including Textiles, Brickworks, Heavy and Light Engineering, Bacon Factory, Cement Factories, Tyrone Crystal, Poultry, Food Processors, Electronics, which together employ thousands of people. Tourism is rapidly rising in importance due to the opening of the New Linen Green complex, Tyrone Crystal and an energetic Borough Council.
