These deadlines allow us to provide all advertising customers a “proof” prior to publication. Upon ordering an advertisement, you will receive a proof at least 24 hours prior to publication. We ask that you review your ad and either approve it or notify us of any necessary changes. (This review is intended to catch errors, typos, missing information, etc., not to make wholesale changes.) If the advertiser does not respond to the proof, the ad will run as-is.

We will accept ads after the standard deadline up to 24 hours before publication.
