Advertorials
The Press does not publish advertorials however we do
accept reader advertisements providing they adhere to the following
requirements;
- Must be fully boarded - minimum 4 pt boarder.
- The word "advertisement" must appear top centre of the
advertisement in minimum 12 pt bold font. The word must appear in a
clear unobstructed format and cannot be included within a graphic, in
colour or surrounded with other wording.<
- Although serif fonts are acceptable for body copy, the
font used cannot be the same as used by The Press. Similarly
headlines cannot be similar to that of the main editorial headlines.
- Reader ads cannot appear within the first 5 pages of
Section A Monday - Friday and the first 9 pages on Saturday. Opinion,
Perspective pages and section front positions are also excluded.
- The style and look of a Press advertising feature also cannot be replicated.
Additional requirements for full page reader ads:
- The word "advertisement" must be centred and in minimum 14 pt bold
font unobstructed, and must be fully bordered (min 4 pt rule) as above.
- Full page reader advertisements cannot appear anywhere within the
general News section of Section A. They may appear on the "transition"
page between News and Business or in Business, but only on a left hand
page.
General Guidelines:
- All reader advertisements must be approved by the Advertising Manager and / or Deputy prior to publication.
- All reader advertisements must be supplied for approval by noon one working day prior.
- The Press may decline a reader advertisement from being published
even if the requirements described above are technically met. This may
occur where the overall impression of the advertisement has the strong
potential to confuse readers, or even more critically, where some
readers may think there was a deliberate attempt to mislead and deceive
them into thinking what is presented is genuine editorial coverage.
