PRODUCTION GUIDELINES File Formats PDF is the preferred file format for print ads. Other acceptable files include EPS, TIFF, DOC, AI, PSD, IND, JPEG and most graphic formats. Your Account Executive can answer any questions regarding file types. Fonts Fonts are not necessarily universal. Please make sure that all fonts are embedded. For Photoshop files, we prefer a flattened image. If these rules cannot be adhered to, it may be necessary for our productions department to substitute fonts without notification. Image Resolution Our paper prints at around 230 DPI (dots per inch). Digital files for print should be submitted at a minimum of 250 DPI. Web images as a general rule are 72 DPI and should not be submitted, as they will print “fuzzy”. Creative Services We know that advertising is expensive. If you want to get the biggest bang for your buck, consider Targum Productions as a creative outlet for your advertising needs. We are more than pleased to offer free design services for clients who have pre-paid for an ad or have an on-going contract with Targum Publishing. Our productions department can create an ad for you or streamline the one you have to ensure what’s best for both your company and the aesthetic of the paper. Any revisions or adjustments to the created ad requested by the advertiser will be an additional fee. Ask your Account Executive for further details. Proofs & Deadlines If our productions department is creating an ad for you, we will need all the information 5 business days in advance. While this may seem like a long time, please consider that we are working with many clients simultaneously. The deadline assures that each ad is crafted carefully and proofread for errors. It will also give you ample time to carefully look over your ad and give us adequate time to make corrections. We cannot guarantee proofs to advertisers who fail to meet the submission guidelines. Please make sure all text is finalized and proofread before submitting. The Daily Targum is not responsible for typos.

TERMS & CONDITIONS Payment is due prior to run date until credit has been established. Accounts desiring credit must submit a credit application and be approved by our accounting department before credit can be extended. Please allow 5 to 10 business days for processing. Billing terms are net amount due and are payable within 30 days of billing date. Accounts with balances of 90 or more days overdue will be sent to a collections agency at the discretion of the collections department. Advertisers will pay all costs incurred by The Daily Targum from the collections process. There will be a $30.00 service charge on all bounced checks. All rates are net (non-commissionable). The placing of any matter for publication in The Daily Targum will be regarded as acceptance of all the provisions in the media kit. The Daily Targum is not responsible for typographical errors that do not lessen the value of the advertisement. We reserve the right to reject or edit any advertisement that does not comply with the policies and judgment of the newspaper. Any changes or cancellations must be made prior to the advertising deadline. No adjustments or refunds will be given for changes or cancellations requested after deadline. The Daily Targum is not responsible for incorrect copy submitted by the advertiser according to the adjustment guidelines.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why should my business advertise with The Daily Targum? The college-age market is extremely lucrative - the average Rutgers student spends approximately $240 a month. With approximately 40,000 students, that’s $9,600,000 of total discretionary spending every month - money that your business can get its share of by drawing in customers from the Rutgers community via The Daily Targum. How often do you publish? We publish every day that classes are in session during the fall and spring semesters. A copy of our publication schedule can be found enclosed in this media kit. Where can readers pick up the paper? We have approximately 170 drop points. There is a drop off point at each dining hall and student center, most bus stops, and at most major academic buildings and dorms. We also have several off-campus drop off points on Easton Avenue, in downtown New Brunswick, and in Highland Park. What is your circulation? Our daily circulation is 10,000 Monday through Friday. Can I choose where my ad is placed? You can request placement but we do not guarantee it. Final layout is at the discretion of the editorial department. Please see the Rates section (page 4) for more information on special placement. Do you send tearsheets? Yes, we send tearsheets for all advertising each publication day. Where should I send my ads? Please send all copy and artwork to the Account Executive who handles your account. What types of files can I email you? We prefer .pdf or .eps files, but will accept others based on our Production Guidelines. What are the dimensions of the paper? Each page of our paper measures 9.75 inches (5 columns) wide by 16 inches of printable space. Can I be billed for my ads? To be billed, you must establish credit by prepaying for 100 column inches of space. After this you may submit a credit application and billing will begin upon approval. Will my print ad be available online? Print ads can be viewed daily along with the entire issue, in issuu format on our website. Issuu allows iPad and tablet users to view the Targum at their fingertips.
