PUBLIC NOTICE ADS NOW AVAILABLE

Throughout our nation's history, government agencies have been required to alert citizens of certain government activities that may impact a local community, providing citizens with an opportunity to stay informed and take action when necessary. Newspapers have long partnered with government agencies by publishing public notices, enabling the government to be fully transparent and accountable to citizen taxpayers. In recent years, state legislatures - most recently in New Jersey - have proposed to move public notices out of printed newspapers and onto government-run websites.
Publishing public notices in newspapers informs a wide audience in a local community of a government agency's action; reaching citizens that are passive information seekers that would not be aware of the fact that notices impacting the community are on a government agency's website. Publishing public notices through the local newspaper also serves an important audit role as the newspaper acts as an independent third party able to legally verify that the government agency has given the public notice.
The News Media Alliance has created ads highlighting the importance of keeping public notices in newspapers. We encourage you to run these advertisements in your newspaper over time to help educate the public. Ads can be published as is, or you can add your own logo. If you have any questions about the ads, please email Lindsey Loving, [email protected].

Advertising Networks
Would you like $280.00 for every 2x2 ad you sell into the network? How about another $65.00 for every classified ad? It's easy and your staff can start doing it today. One 2x2 ad a week would mean $14,560 a year in commissions. It may take some effort but it is easy money there for the taking.
NMPS offers advertising clients a classified and 2x2 network throughout the state to help reach customers on a low budget. They are but a few of the many services we provide. Newspapers that participate in the networks run ads on a weekly basis and have the opportunity to receive revenues in two easy ways: receive payments on a bi-annual basis from a pool of revenue from the 2x2 network and receiving commissions on any ads sold into either network. NMPS actively sells clients into these networks on a weekly basis, but you can too! Download and distribute the sales sheet to everyone on your sales staff.
