Want to advertise in Port Orford Today?

Click HERE (revised June 2008) and see back page for display advertising rates. Classified and Display advertising forms are included and the booklet also contains information about our other services, products, and policies.

Our paper is printed on a legal size (8.5x14") sheet of paper which is folded in half to give a page size of 8.5" high by 7" wide. Margins are 3/8" (0.375") on top, bottom and outside edge. Inside edge margin is 1/4" (0.25"). We have 3 columns with 3/16" (0.1875") gutters. This results in a column width of 2". Two column wide ads are 4 3/16" (4.1875") and three column wide ads are 6 3/8" (6.375"). (Note that they aren't just two or three times the single column width because they include one or two gutters as well as the columns.)

Here are some of our standard sizes. See our Price List for prices, examples, and forms for classified and display ads.
