Display Rates

Display Deadline Tuesday At 2:00 PM

How Display Ads Are Sized & Billed

Display ads are sold by the square column inch = # columns wide x inches tall. For example, a 2x2 ad (2 columns wide x 2" tall = 3.27" wide x 2" tall — a business card sized ad) is 4 square column inches. The paper is 6 columns wide per page (10.1" wide x 16" tall). Ads must be a whole column in width (1–6), however we can adjust the height of the ad in quarter inch increments. Minimum ad size is 2 square column inches, which would be a 1x2 or a 2x1.

Standard Display Rates

• Inside Page: $7 per Column Inch
• Back Page: $10 per Column Inch
• Front Page: $17 per Column Inch
• Color: $3 per Column Inch ($12 minimum)
• 20% additional charge for specified page & position

Ad width sold in whole column inches only. Front page ads available every other week, call for availability. (N/A to Online Photo/Display Ads)
