Public Media Network’s newsletters go out to people who are already paying attention to what’s happening here — local government, arts and culture, and the stories that shape our community. They’re not a passive audience; they’re engaged, civic-minded readers who chose to hear from us. Around 14,000 of them, in fact, with an average open rate of above 40%, above typical email marketing benchmarks.
Now, local businesses and organizations can be part of that trusted inbox — with a sponsorship option built to be simple, affordable, and effective.
How It Works
We kept this easy on purpose: one ad format, one simple price.
- Ad format: A single image ad, 300px x 250px, hyperlinked to your website or page of choice
- Placement: Your sponsorship ad appears directly in one of our newsletters — sent four times a week (Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday)
- Setup: Just send us your artwork and link. Our team handles the rest.
