Make It special

[Special Issues]

The Hatchet often publishes special issues, targeting the GW community with special themes. These are excellent issues to advertise in. Many of these issues will include specially sized, tabloid pull-out sections inside the paper, which means you can advertise in tabloid or broadsheet format. (View our publication dates for 2008–2009 here.)

Rates for ads tabloid format are same as ads in broadsheet. For tabloid sizing, view our Technical Specifications.

While tabloid pull-outs are new for us this year, here are some designs from last year's full-size special issues:

Colonials Weekend Commencement Guide
Holiday Shopping Orientation Guide Basketball Preview
Spring Break Valentine's Day Housing Guide
