About The Red Journal
A community publication dedicated to strengthening American communities by connecting patriotic homeowners with trusted local businesses.
Since our founding, we have been committed to serving the communities that make America great. We believe that informed citizens and thriving local businesses are the foundation of strong neighborhoods.
Why We Started
The Red Journal was founded with a deep appreciation for the communities that make America great. We noticed a disconnect: patriotic homeowners struggled to find local businesses that shared their values, while those same businesses had no effective way to reach their ideal customers.
Digital advertising is fleeting and often ignored. Direct mail postcards end up in the trash. Traditional newspapers have declined in quality and readership. We saw an opportunity to create something different: a premium print publication that readers actually want to receive and keep.
The Red Journal was born from a simple idea: create a trusted publication that bridges this gap. A print magazine delivered directly to homes, filled with local election information, community events, and spotlight features on values-aligned businesses.
Today, we are proud to serve communities across the country, helping patriotic families connect with the local service providers they can trust. From home contractors and medical professionals to legal services and real estate agents, our advertisers represent the best their communities have to offer.
Our Mission & Values
To strengthen American communities by providing patriotic homeowners with a trusted resource for local civic engagement and connecting them with values-aligned local businesses.
Civic Engagement
We believe informed citizens are the backbone of our communities. Every edition provides comprehensive coverage of local, state, and federal elections, giving patriots the information they need to participate meaningfully in local democracy. From candidate profiles to ballot measure explanations, we ensure our readers are prepared when they head to the polls.
Community Support
Local businesses are the lifeblood of our neighborhoods. They sponsor little league teams, donate to local charities, and create jobs for our neighbors. We create meaningful connections between homeowners and the service providers who share their values, helping to keep dollars circulating within the community and strengthening local economies.
American Values
Faith, family, and freedom guide everything we do. We understand that our readers want to support businesses that respect traditional American principles and operate with integrity. By connecting like-minded homeowners and business owners, we help build networks of trust that strengthen the fabric of our communities.
What Sets Us Apart
The Red Journal is not just another advertising circular or coupon mailer. We are a premium publication designed to inform, engage, and connect our communities.
Targeted Distribution
We do not blanket entire zip codes. Instead, we carefully select high-value residential neighborhoods where engaged, patriotic homeowners are most likely to appreciate our content and respond to our advertisers.
Quality Over Quantity
Our publication is printed on premium paper stock with full-color throughout. We invest in quality because we know our readers and advertisers deserve a publication they are proud to display and share.
Editorial Integrity
Our election coverage is thorough and informative. We provide the facts our readers need to make their own informed decisions, presented in a clear and accessible format that respects their intelligence.
Community Focus
Every edition is tailored to the specific community it serves. Local candidates, local events, and local businesses take center stage because we know that is what matters most to our readers.

Our publication schedule aligns with election cycles, publishing twice yearly to ensure readers have timely information about local, state, and federal candidates and issues. This timing also means advertisers reach homeowners during key decision-making periods.
