The Hoosier State Press Association Board of Directors offers a package of materials to promote the value of publication of public notice advertising, or “legals.”
This is part of the effort to increase awareness of the value of these public notices in the face of increasing efforts by bureaucrats and legislators to eliminate the notices or move them to government websites.
The package includes sample print ads, website ads, an editorial on the value of public notices, and a banner strip promoting public notices that could run across the bottom of your editorial or other pages.
Please download the materials below and use as space allows. Note all components are customizable and include space to fill with newspaper logos.
