The Neighbor Times serves hyperlocal news to 1,100+ residents of Fairfax County, VA — in English and Korean. We accept only informational ads that add value for readers.
Required by FTC, demanded by readers. Every ad is visually distinct from editorial content: yellow border, "🌟 SPONSORED" label in every placement.
"Sale, new opening, local event" = acceptable. "We're great, come visit us" = rejected. If it doesn't inform a reader, it doesn't run.
Newspaper front-page rule: maximum 1 ad per scroll-height of content. We turn away revenue before we turn away readers.
Recurring monthly revenue. Free tier drives discovery — paid tiers drive business. Always keep Free alive: it's the engine that fills the directory with data.
Your announcement appears in the news feed — clearly labeled "Sponsored" with a yellow border. Events, new openings, and seasonal promotions only. No "we're the best" copy.
"3 Things You Must Know Today" countdown cards. Your service appears as a solution beneath a deadline card — e.g., "FCPS enrollment D-20 → Sponsored by Han-Mi Tax: Free document translation".
Reach subscribers directly in their inbox. Three placements available per issue: Top Banner, Mid-content Native, and Bottom Listing. Open rate and click data provided.
Exclusive sponsor of a content series (3–6 months). "Brought to you by [Brand]" appears on every episode. Ideal for banks, law firms, and insurance companies seeking community trust.
Live previews of each ad type, rendered at actual size. What you see below is what readers see.
Kindergarten registration closes May 15. Birth cert, immunizations, proof of address required.
These are firm rejections — not negotiable, not case-by-case. Published here so you know before you apply.
Your ad appears in the right section — reaching readers who are already interested in your service.
