A Media Planner's View: Where to Place
Use Anandabazar Patrika as the lead print title for Bengali-speaking audiences in Kolkata and West Bengal. Front-section display and city pages carry the most visibility, while festival and results-season timing lifts response for financial, property and premium consumer messages.
