Newspapers have historically been the leading advertising medium , but recently television surpassed newspapers as the medium that receives the greatest amount of advertising expenditures.
Newspaper advertising receipts are derived from local retail advertising, classified ads, and national ads. Local advertising is clearly the mainspring of newspapers .
However, newspapers have become more active in their efforts to increase national advertising. These efforts have been facilitated by the Newspaper Advertising Bureau (NAB), a nonprofit sales and research organization. The NAB offers a variety of services that assist both newspapers and national advertisers by simplifying the task of buying newspaper space and by offering discounts that make newspapers a more attractive medium.
In the past, a major problem in buying newspaper space for regional or national advertisers was that newspaper page size and column space varied, thereby preventing an advertiser from preparing a single advertisement to fit every newspaper.
In the early 1980s the advertising industry adopted a standardized system known as the Standardized Advertising Unit (SAU) system. The implementation of the SAU system made it possible for advertisers to purchase any one of 56 standard ad sizes to fit the advertising publishing parameters of all newspapers in the United States.
Under this system, advertisers prepare advertisements and purchase space in terms of column widths and depth in inches.
There are six column widths:
1 column: 2 '/ i 6 "
4 columns: 8 5/8"
2 columns: 4' / 4 "
5 columns: lO 13/16
3 columns: July 6 / l6 "
6 columns: 13,"
the Space Varies in size bed depth from 1 "to 21". Thus, an advertiser can purchase an ad as small as 1 "by 2 '/ i6" or as large as 13 "by 21" with numerous in-between combinations in inches. A chosen size for a particular advertisement can then be run in newspapers throughout the country.
The choice of an advertisement's position must also be considered when buying newspaper space. Space rates apply only to advertisements placed ROP (run of press), which means that the ad appears in any location, on any page, at the discretion of the newspaper. Premium charges may be assessed if an advertiser has a preferred space positioning, such as at the top of the page in the financial section.
