Efforts are undertaken to increase the scope
of circulation of the print media, particularly to rural
communities.
National newspapers have made efforts to improve their distribution to reach
small, outlying towns on the day of publication. However, rarely does distribution
go beyond these urban nodes. Sister Namibia, on the other hand, is distributed
widely in rural areas through the distribution networks of non-governmental
organisations working in these communities. But while this is commendable, this
sort of distribution is not viable for publications that publish more frequently.
For a while, Caprivi Vision was based in Katima Mulilo and was popular within
the Caprivi region, which is the region furthest from the capital Windhoek.
However, the newspaper has since moved its production to Windhoek.
