What this is

Print advertising is a page or partial page in a newspaper or magazine, sold directly by the publication's sales team. It is the channel most likely to be quoted off a straightforward rate card here — a fixed price per placement, sized by page fraction, colour and section (front page, classifieds, a special supplement) rather than by any audience metric, and rarely bought programmatically.

Questions

How is a print rate normally set?

By placement — a full page costs more than a quarter page, a colour ad more than black and white, and a front or back page carries a premium over an inside page. It is set by the publication, not by an audience auction.

Can print be bought self-serve?

Rarely — almost every print placement here goes through a sales team or a rate-card request rather than an online checkout, which is typical for the channel.

Is a publication's digital edition counted as print?

No — this channel is the physical (or PDF facsimile) publication's own ad pages; a banner on the same publisher's website is tracked under the Web channel instead.
