Most of our readers and advertisers agree that The Black River Journal is the premiere magazine of the Somerset Hills, Mendham, Chester, Tewksbury area.

We reach some of the most sought-after and desirable zip codes in New Jersey with a publication that appeals to a broad readership. Our readers and subscribers include established landed families as well as newcomers, notable names in government and finance, business people, farmers, tradesmen, artists and craftsmen, homemakers, students, retirees, sportsmen and equestrians, outdoor enthusiasts and conservationists, tourists, day-trippers, shoppers...

As a free publication, we aren’t limited by traditional venues where magazines are sold.

Chances are that in your daily or weekly travels throughout our region you have noticed The BRJ, whether it’s on the counter of your favorite lunch spot or coffee shop, an associate’s office or place of business, the lobby of your grocery store or bank, or at your local farm market. Several years ago, we decided that we didn’t want to offer The BRJ exclusively on newsstands and traditional venues where magazines are sold. That is why we decided to make The BRJ a complimentary publication, which we also believe is the future in magazine publishing. Because of our decision to become a free publication, The BRJ can be found in many unique and unconventional high-traffic venues, such as bank and professional offices and lobbies, restaurants, general stores and eateries, hospitality businesses, area parks and attractions, shops and boutiques, farm stands and markets, wine and gourmet shops, well-known grocery store and coffee shop chains, and more... Ask our competition how many venues they are available in throughout the region and compare it to The BRJ.

Why pay a high premium to reach the wrong market? The BRJ is your hometown magazine.

When the statewide or large regional publications try to wow you with high circulation numbers, ask them how many of those readers live within driving (and shopping, service, and dining) distance to your business. Does it really benefit your advertising budget to reach an audience in Cape May, Ocean County, or the Delaware River region? For almost a decade advertisers have found success in The BRJ because we target an audience that lives, shops, dines, utilizes services, and frequents our area at a price that is sometimes half of what you’d pay to advertise in a statewide publication.
