The Coshocton County Beacon is a weekly, free-subscription-by-request community newspaper serving a mobile and sought-after consumer market only 63 miles from Ohio's state capitol and largest city, Columbus. Coshocton features its own thriving business environment, especially in travel and tourism. The fully restored, Roscoe Village was once a major stop on the former Erie and Ohio canal. The content of the Beacon plays to a local audience and visitors alike. The Beacon allows businesses to market their products, services and brands to its readers through advertising, paid marketing content and press releases.
