A display ad can include graphics, images, boxes, logos and other such devices. There are five widths corresponding to the five columns on the page and if graphics are submitted that don’t match these widths, we will resize them in proportion to fit (which may also change the price you expected). Widths are 1.985″, 4″, 6.125″, 8.25″ and 10.25″. The minimum height is 1.5″ and the tallest fit to the page is 15.6″. There is a no-fly zone between 14.5 and 15.6″ in height. Cost is found by multiplying the number of columns by the height to get the number of “column inches” and multiplying by the rates. As of August 1, 2025 our base rate will be $11.50 per column inch for new commercial advertisers with discounts available for volume (see the advertising page for details). Non-profit advertisers are accorded a rate of $8.10 with no further discounts available.
This page allows for the submission of files but not payment as we find size adjustments must frequently be made before costs can be computed. If you have further questions please insert them in the comments field, email us at ads@greenbeltnewsreview.com, or call us Monday or Tuesday between 2 and 4 p.m.
Height is measured to the nearest half inch above. Minimum height is 1.5”. The maximum height less than a full page is 14.5” and a full page is 16”. If ads are not correct to these widths we need to adjust the size resulting in an additional charge if the ad is taller as a result. These widths account for gutters between columns.
To help us respond more effectively, please let us know in the comments suggestion how big you think your ad will be (how many columns wide – each column is about 2″ wide) and how tall. Let us also know when you think you want the ad to start, how many times it will run (or the date it will stop). If you are a non-profit, let us know.
