ESTE News

Este, the monthly newspaper of the Catholic Diocese of Eastern Samar, is the only newspaper in Eastern Samar! The paper has a circulation of 2,500 and is distributed to every barangay in the province, including geographically isolated island and upland barangays. Distribution locations include all churches and chapels in Eastern Samar as well as public libraries and schools, ensuring multiple readership of each copy of Este.

Apart from being a great paper, Este is a wonderful distribution network. For agencies willing to contribute to the cost of production, this network can be further leveraged by extending the print run of the paper, produce special editions of the paper, and inserting flyers or posters.
