2008 Transportation Advertising Rates - Effective August 1, 2008

Dollar-Volume Contracts

Advertisers who sign a contract with The Oregonian receive "companion" Classified and Retail advertising rates. With companion rates, the cost to place a standard page in Classified or Retail is the same even though Classified is sold by the line and Retail is sold by the column inch. Every dollar you invest in online, newspaper, niche magazines, or color counts toward contract fulfillment.
Rates shown are for liners and display ads. Available modular discounts reduce the investment required for larger display ads. Liners run more than one day within a week also qualify for lower rates.
