Stripes launches free paper listing Okinawa events

A new publication hit Okinawa bases Friday.

Stripes Okinawa, a free, weekly publication produced by the Stars and Stripes advertising department in the Pacific, will be delivered with the regular newspaper and will also be available in newsstands, stores and elsewhere on the island’s bases.

All information is local and focused on community and school events, entertainment listings and schedules. Freelance writers and advertising staff produce the stories.

Stripes Okinawa will have island-wide distribution at all bases and will be found at common locations in front of or inside exchanges, commissaries, gyms, schools, clubs, billeting, MWR facilities, banks and credit unions.
