The Dayton City Paper was a free weekly newspaper distributed at hundreds of locations throughout the metro Dayton, Ohio region from April 3, 2003 through September 11, 2018. Pickup locations included areas as far North as Troy; as far West as Trotwood, West Carrollton, and Miamisburg; areas East including Springfield, Yellow Springs, and Xenia; and as far South as Springboro / Franklin. An ownership change in January 2009 ushered-in an editorial narrowing from its broad “weekly news and culture” format while simultaneously distancing itself from the typical tabloid alternative newsweekly editorial format by aiming at hyper-local arts, culture, and entertainment coverage. The DCP cherry-picked editorial covering the region's performing and visual arts, cultural diversity, entertainment offerings, nightlife, recreation, dining, beer, wine, festivals, and a blend of political debate and opinion. That focus along with other aggressive changes in 2010 such as moving its street publication day from Wednesdays to Tuesdays, converting its presentation from 50% color / 50% black & white to an all-color publication printed on an even brighter paper stock, and aggressively increasing its regional availability footprint by securing at least twenty-five regional Kroger stores along with other key pickup locations such as the Dayton Airport and the entire University of Dayton campus, the paper propelled its readership from just under 30,000 weekly readers to over 50,000 by 2017. Early readership surges quickly helped increase revenue sufficiently for employee-publisher Paul Noah to secure low-interest financing to form a new company Dayton City Media that purchased the Dayton City Paper in April, 2012. Other growth benefits included a rapid page-count increase from an average of 32 pages per week in 2009 to anywhere from 40 pages to 44 pages starting in 2013 naturally allowing the publication to expand editorial content in addition to its ability to increase critical display advertising. At one time the paper swelled to 52 pages. The Dayton City Paper’s contributor roster climbed to its peak of over thirty freelance writers, as did its distribution pickup location count from approximately 350 to over 500 locations by 2016.
