Copy & Contract Requirements

Issuance and Closing Dates
Published monthly, issued by the 7th of the month.  Advertising space reservation deadline is typically the 8th of the month preceding publication with the material to arrive by the 13th, except when those dates fall on holidays or weekends (please refer to the Editorial Calendar / Planning Guide to verify each issue's deadlines).  Cancellation are NOT honored after the ad space reservation deadline prior to the month of publication.

General Rate Policy
Advertisers will be short-rated if, within the calendar year of the first insertion, they do not use the amount of space upon which their billings have been established.  Advertisers will be rebated if, within the calendar year of the first insertion, they have used sufficient additional space to warrant a lower rate than that at which they have been previously billed.
Frequency Discount
Frequency discounts apply to all insertions without respect to mixed sizes.  Earned rate is based on total number of insertions within the calendar year.  Spreads count as two insertions.
