Established on March 16, 1972, Marianas Variety is the islands’ oldest, most trusted, most influential and most widely read newspaper. It is an independent publication with no ties to business or political interests. Its business is to be a newspaper, not to “defend” special interests or promote any business entity or politician. Variety has a readership of 40,000 in the CNMI and 2,000 throughout Micronesia. We print an average of 28-40 pages daily with full color capability. We distribute in the CNMI, Guam, Palau, and the Federated States of
Micronesia. We have subscribers in the South Pacific, the Philippines, Hawaii, Japan and the mainland U.S. Variety provides its readers with the most extensive local and regional news
and views.

It carries interesting and in-depth feature stories, U.S. and international news. It has the liveliest opinion page in all of the Marianas and remains the only CNMI newspaper that takes a stand, through its editorials, on the burning issues of the day. Variety is published from Monday to Friday and is owned by Younis Art Studio, a local company.
