Sponsored Articles – tell a story about your business

To enhance your advertising and exposure to our readers we will guarantee space in the newspaper for a 400 word (or less) article sponsored and written by you, and edited by us, when you place $500 of display advertising within a maximum of a 2 month (4 issue) time span. As a free newspaper we depend on advertising to continue printing the newspaper our readers enjoy and look forward to. We consider this opportunity to be mutually beneficial.

Don’t worry if you’re not a professional writer because we are, and we will make sure your article reads well before it goes to print. The only requirement is that the article must be submitted by the intended issue’s deadline in a word document. Photos should be submitted in a digital format, but are at the editor’s discretion whether the photo prints with the article.

Alternatively, if you are solely looking for an article that is not combined with display advertising, we accept any article length under 1,000 words with or without photos. The price is based on the space usage according to our standard display advertising rates. When you provide a sample of the article and photo sizes, we will provide a quote of the final price.

Media E-mail Send – send your press release to news outlets

We’ll send an email on your behalf to all of the area media. Our media list is a collection of 500+ e-mail addresses in the local media (radio, community calendars, newspapers and local television news) within a 40-mile radius of Fort Wayne. The email can contain a press release, announcement or any other information that you want to provide to the local media to promote your business or event. The e-mails are formatted to look like they are sent from your e-mail address, so when the recipient of the e-mail responds, the response goes directly to you, so you can follow up with them directly.

$75 per media list sent (no contract)
$60 per media list sent (contract of 6 times in one year)
