Dear Advertiser,

Welcome to the Spectator, the student newspaper of Valdosta State University, a unit of the University System of Georgia. The Spectator is an award-winning, weekly newspaper affiliated with the Georgia College Press Association.

Advertising in the Spectator allows you to reach 12,500 potential customers, consisting of students, faculty, and staff. With our excellent prices, numerous discounts, and in-house design, the Spectator can stretch your advertising dollar.

The Spectator is distributed every Thursday throughout the academic year. The Spectator publishes thirty issues over two semesters. Also, several special tabloids are published, including a Back-to-School Tab (one for each semester), a Sports Spotlight Tab, a Spring Break Tab and a Graduation/Christmas Gift Tab. Please see the publication schedule in this rate card.

In addition to the issues published during the academic year, the Spectator produces a summer issue distributed to incoming students at orientation. Advertising in this issue allows you to reach incoming students and their parents before these students register for classes.

This rate card explains Spectator rates, policies, and deadlines. If you have any questions or comments, please e-mail me at sefagan@valdosta.edu.

Thank you,
