Thank you for your interest in knowing more about who we are as a media company, and what we do to benefit advertisers and support the community in which we conduct business.

What we are as a local company is a multi-media business providing credible news and information of value to audiences within Kitsap County and the Kitsap Peninsula of Washington state.  We offer access to those audiences for businesses and organizations wishing to effectively, affordably reach them. Our media include print and online advertising, classified advertising, delivery of preprinted advertising circulars, search engine marketing, e-mail, social media advertising and website design, among other business-to-consumer messaging.  Information on how you may use any combination of our media and services is contained among these pages.

Our company became a daily fixture in Bremerton in 1935, publishing then and now under a flag bearing the Scripps family name.    Now operating as a property of the E.W. Scripps Company (NYSE ticker symbol SSP), the Kitsap Sun is an integral part of a company of daily and community newspapers, internet sites and broadcast t.v. stations located throughout the U.S.

Among our array of media are the daily Kitsap Sun, the direct-mailed weeklies Bainbridge Islander, Gig Harbor Life, North Mason LIFE, Shelton LIFE and a range of digital news and information sites and services.   Kitsapsun.com has been named on mulitple occasions by its Pacific Northwest media peers as best overall and best designed web site.  Share of page views among local news media sites regularly exceeds two-thirds,  according to online audience authority Experian Hitwise. 

For nearly as many years as we have been producing a daily newspaper, we have also been a commercial printer. Among long-time customers are the weeklies Sequim Gazette, Tacoma Weekly, Fife/Milton Signal, the monthlies Kitsap Peninsula Business Journal and Key Peninsula News and periodicals for the tribal communities of the Skokomish and Squaxin nations.

We take very seriously the role and responsibility we have as the area’s leading media company. Producing media that fully responds to audience expectations of quality and value extends throughout our line of print and digital products. Thank you, again, for getting to know us better. Your relationship with us as a reader or as an advertiser, or both, is vitally important and graciously appreciated.
“South Kitsap Helpline has benefitted immensely from the support of the Kitsap Sun and the generosity of its readers. We’re able to do more for more people in need with the help of the annual Kitsap Sun Bellringer Campaign. The Kitsap Sun is a hometown paper that rallies the community and walks the talk.”
