About Cairnpost
A Regina news website and podcast, reporting on southern Saskatchewan and selling its own advertising directly to the businesses it covers.
Who we are
Cairnpost began publishing in 2019 as a weekday newsletter, and added the Trailhead podcast two years later once the newsletter had a steady weekday rhythm. Today the two run alongside a set of local news pages, all produced by the same small team.
Cairnpost is operated by HARVARD BROADCASTING INC., which holds the registration and handles the business side of the operation; the newsroom itself sets the editorial line independently, and advertising never determines what we choose to cover.
We are based in Regina and built the publication to cover the city and the towns around it rather than compete with national outlets for national stories.
What we do
Cairnpost publishes local news on our website, a weekday newsletter, and a weekly podcast, and sells three advertising placements across those three formats.
- Weekday Brief Newsletter Credit
A recurring sponsor note in our morning newsletter.
- Trailhead Audio Sponsor Stone
Host-read mentions in our weekly podcast.
- Cairn Partner Stack
A combined six-week package across all our formats.
Where we are
Our office is at 1874 Scarth Street, 2000, Regina, SK S4P 4B3, and our coverage runs across Regina and southern Saskatchewan — the Cathedral neighbourhood, Wascana, Moose Jaw, the Qu’Appelle Valley and the Warehouse District all appear regularly in our reporting.
Who provides the services
Editor
Assigns local stories, edits sponsor copy for the newsletter, and keeps the editorial line separate from advertising.
Audio producer
Records and edits Trailhead, books guests, and manages the podcast sponsor reads.
Advertising coordinator
Handles bookings, creative approval and invoicing for all three placements.
Community correspondent
Covers Moose Jaw and the Qu’Appelle Valley, filing stories that run in both the newsletter and on the website.
How we work
Approach
We report locally first, cover fewer stories more completely, and keep sponsor content clearly labelled.
Quality control
Every sponsor note or script passes through the editor before it publishes or airs.
Communication
One coordinator manages your booking from enquiry through to the wrap report.
A few common questions
Is Cairnpost independent from its advertisers?
Yes. Editorial decisions are made by the newsroom, separately from advertising sales, and sponsor content is always labelled as such.
Do you cover towns outside Regina?
Yes, our community correspondent regularly files from Moose Jaw and the Qu’Appelle Valley.
How do I book advertising?
Use the contact form on our home page or call during office hours; see our FAQ page for the full process.
What we don’t do
We don’t run advertising that reads as news, sell placements outside the three listed above, or promise a particular business outcome from any placement. We also don’t publish audience or subscriber figures — only the format, run length and price of each placement.
