Display Ads
We are now accepting ad reservations for the upcoming issue of the CDSS News, as well as reservations for all issues of 2021. Please contact Kelsey Wells at news@cdss.org to make a reservation. Reservations are due approximately 6 weeks before publication date, but the art is not due until 3 weeks before. See the chart below for specific dates.
The CDSS News is delivered quarterly to approximately 3,000 households in print and 8,000 people electronically. Each print issue is also available online. In addition, there is one online-only issue per year. (In 2021, the online-only issue is Summer.) All print ad prices include placing the same ad in the corresponding online issue. It is currently not possible to place an online-only ad in a print issue.
Ads can be in full color or black and white and should be submitted via email to news@cdss.org. The art should be sized to the dimensions stated below. Press-ready PDF is preferred, but we will also accept JPG or TIF files of at least 300 dpi. Ad payment is due when the art file is submitted.
Ads for in-person events are permitted, however, the ad must include a statement that the event is subject to change due to the ongoing pandemic.

- 10% discount off total price for reservations of 2 or more successive issues
- The Member price is available to all individual and household CDSS Members. The Affiliate price is available to anyone placing an ad on behalf of a current CDSS Affiliate group.
- The online pricing structure is only available for the year's online-only issue. (In 2021, that is the Summer issue.) All print ads automatically include the ad in the online version of that issue. For example, placing an ad in the Spring 2021 issue uses the print pricing structure and inserts that ad into the print and online versions of that issue.
