Special Sections

The News & Observer and its community newspapers publish a variety of advertising supplements, including many produced in cooperation with organizations and governmental agencies that need to tell their full story to the Triangle and eastern North Carolina. Our Creative Services staff can assist you in developing the thematic approach, advertising support, content and design of a special section published on your behalf.

Upcoming Special Sections

2008 Magazine and Feature Editions Calendar

Business Spotlight - Northern Wake
Reach your potential customers in northern Wake County and Franklin County with this advertorial publication that pairs your ad with your self-written profile (or we'll write it for you). The size of the article about your business is equal to the ad you buy, allowing you to determine how big of an impact you make. Business Spotlight is delivered to more than 61,000 households in the Wake Forest, Wakefield, Heritage, Rolesville, Youngsville, Henderson, Louisburg and Oxford areas, and additional copies will be distributed at the Wake Forest Chamber of Commerce's Community Expo on October 28.

Business Spotlight publishes in The N&O and the North Raleigh News on Wednesday, October 22.
Advertising deadline is October 6.

Schools, Colleges & Universities
Our annual guide to private schools and institutions of higher learning offers advertisers added value: the advertorial content (article and photo) of this full-color publication comes from advertisers, and advertisers get individual banner ads that run with the online publication of the section. That's three opportunities to reach potential students and/or their parents with your school's message.

Schools, Colleges & Universities will be published in The N&O on Sunday, October 5.
Advertising deadline is September 15.

Southern Ideal Home Show
Our program to the semi-annual Southern Ideal Home show is an ideal vehicle for reaching Triangle residents interested in your products and services for the home. In addition to full-run distribution in The News & Observer and The Chapel Hill News, thousands more are given out at the heavily attended show over three days. You don't have to be an exhibitor to advertise, but we have special rates for exhibitors.

The Southern Ideal Home Show program will be published in The N&O on Saturday, September 20, and in The Chapel Hill News on Sunday, September 21.
Advertising deadline is August 27.

The Southern Ideal Home Show - Raleigh will be held September 26-28 at the N.C. State Fairgrounds.

Don't forget about niche advertising opportunities available in our magazines.
