Welcome to The News-Gazette Connectad web site. This site makes it easier for advertisers to submit electronic ads or digital art for insertion in The News-Gazette, HomeFinder, RentFinder, Accent, or The County Star. This method of sending files to The News-Gazette is an improvement over regular e-mail because it will provide you, the advertiser, with an automatic confirmation that the file was received by us. It will also notify your News-Gazette ad rep and the pre-press department that an ad was received. The entire process will be faster, as you will receive your confirmation on-screen as soon as the file transfer is complete.

If you have already been sending files to us by e-mail, then your ad rep has a log-in name and password for you to use. That log-in will "remember" your company information, saving you keystrokes each time you submit files to us.

If we still trade files by "sneaker net" - floppies, zip disks or CDs, this
will eliminate missing or bad media from slowing you down! If you haven't sent us e-mail prior to now, but would like a log-in and password to use, please notify your ad rep. Not sure who your ad rep is? Just call (217) 351-5252 (or e-mail us at advertising@news-gazette.com) and ask! We'll get you set up right away.

For questions about using Connectad? call (217) 351-5699.

Besides submitting files for publication, this web site was designed to provide you with information you might find helpful in preparing your ad for submission. Ad size and deadline information can all be found here.

Please remember to talk to your ad rep to reserve ad space.

Thanks for advertising with The News-Gazette!
