These and answers to many other pressing questions will be answered to the fullest in one of Hampton Roads' newspapers and tabloid magazines. The 24-hour service is supplemented by programming from Touch Network based in New York and provides daily readings of local, regional and national newspapers, special publications, monthly magazines and periodicals.
Special equipment is needed to receive the closed-circuit programming, and there is a waiting list.
Owned by Norfolk-based media giant Landmark Communications, The Pilot is the only daily game in town for both news lovers and advertisers. The paper covers all of South Hampton Roads and has a North Carolina section that covers the northeastern portion of the state. The result is an easily digestible mix of short news blips and brief stories plus beefed-up business coverage, making our daily five to 10 minutes with the paper more productive than ever. Community tabloids that focus on the news in a smaller spectrum include The Compass in Norfolk, The Beacon in Virginia Beach, Currents in Portsmouth, The Clipper in Chesapeake and The Sun in Suffolk. Its circulation is approximately 10,000 copies.
