Freedom New Mexico returning to Parade Magazine

Can’t wait for the next parade? Clovis News Journal and Portales News-Tribune readers won’t have to wait much longer.

“Parade Magazine” returns to our newspapers starting July 5.

“Parade,” which began in 1941, will replace “USA Weekend” on Sundays.

“Typically, local news and main news are most read and then you go to ‘Parade’,” Publisher Ray Sullivan said. “We carried it earlier this decade, so we’re switching back. It’s a company-wide move although some Freedom (Communications) papers already carried it.”

The magazine features a mixture of news, entertainment and sports stories and includes popular regular features “What People Earn” and “Ask Marilyn.”

“They’ve got a lot of fun articles with interesting topics and always good writing,” Sullivan said.
