The Earlham Word is the perfect choice for advertisers who aim to reach young adults ages 17-26.  The Word is the sole student-operated press organization of Earlham College.  We print 12 issues per semester for an audience of 2,500 students, faculty, staff and alumni as well as members of the Richmond, IN community. To place an ad, contact gamidda10@earlham.edu.

Advertising with us

The Word is printed 13″ x 20″ sheets divided into six two-inch columns. We accept ads in EPS, TIFF, JPG or PDF format, or in clean black-on-white photocopy. However, our current arrangement with the Palladium-Item does not allow for color content.  We can also design advertisements. We are currently working to facilitate local-specific online ad placement, but this feature is not yet available.

For the print edition, our current open rates $5 per column-inch per issue.

Full page = $500

1/2 page = $250

1/4 page = $125

1/8 page = $62.50

Advertising Design

If you do not already have an advertisement to use, or do not have the means to produce one, we can have a graphic artist design an advertisement for you for a one-time fee.  The pricing is $2 per column inch

Details

The same general regulations apply with the Word as you’d find in any newspaper: We reserve the right to determine ad location (although we’ll try our best to accommodate your wishes). Ads laid out to look like news will be printed with a unique border. We reserve the right to decline advertisements if we deem the content of the ad unsuitable for publication.
