Newspaper Display Advertising
Display advertising is located throughout the publication and
utilises size, colour, illustration and typography to attract the
reader's attention. Display advertising is primarily found in the
editorial sections but can also be placed within classified sections if
deemed appropriate and relevant.
You can request a preferred position within the newspaper for a fee
or choose "run of paper" whereby the advertisement is placed in any
position in the paper at our discretion. Opting for run of paper
generally results in a reduced charge to an advertiser.
