Advertising on Colorado Capitol Journal

Advertising on Colorado Capitol Journal is a excellent way to get your message out to a readership that includes many politically active and educated individuals. These folks can be hard to reach through more traditional media.

You'll also be supporting independent journalism and an effort to provide the kind of detailed coverage of the General Assembly and state agencies lacking in the state's major newspapers and TV news broadcasts.

You have several options as far as the size of your advertisement is concerned. You can include text and images in your advertisement, which will be built to your design specifications and approved by you before its run begins. Alternatively, you can submit a ready-made advertisement at 72 dpi.

Standard advertisements must be in JPEG format. Animated GIF advertisements are available at higher rates. Ready-made advertisements that are not sized correctly will be adjusted to fix the space ordered.

An advertisement can provide a link to a web site you want to promote.
