Frequently Asked Questions

Can I receive a proof of my ad before I place it?

Yes. After you have entered your ad text and named your notice, click on the blue Review and Confirm button at the bottom of the page to view your proof/quote. If you are not ready to place the ad yet, you can download a PDF with your proof and price quote, and exit the page without submitting. Your ad draft will be saved to your account to revisit later, if you choose to do so.

Will my ad be published online?

Employment ads placed through Column are published in print only.

What are the prices for your employment advertisements?

Our employment ads cost $66 per Column Inch (roughly $8 per line). Column will provide you with a price quote after you upload your ad text and after any edits, so you can see how changes to your ad will affect the cost in real-time.

When will my ad be published?

All employment ads will appear in the print newspaper edition published each Friday.

How is payment made?

After you upload and review your ad, you will receive an invoice via email. Payment must be made by credit card or ACH prior to the first date of publication or the ad may be held.
