PUBLISHED RATES

All advertising rates effective 1st July 2009 to 30th June 2010, inclusive of GST and current at the time of publication.

The rates provided for use within the facts pages and used for the Schedule Generator are based on common column centimetre formats and are approximations only, with the intention that they be used solely as a guide during the media planning process.

Publishers reserve the right to amend rates without notification. Rates have not been calculated to modular formats. Rates are based on the casual level for early general news (EGN)/run of paper (ROP) and do not account for special placement, whether loaded or for appearance within sections.

The Newspaper Works always recommends that you contact newspaper publishers as early as possible in the planning process to discuss how newspapers can deliver to your campaign objectives.
