Request Advertising Information →Ways to work with us
We welcome inquiries from local businesses, community organizations, event organizers, and sponsors. Tell us what you hope to achieve, and we can discuss an option suited to your goals and budget.
Business advertising
Ask about website advertising to introduce your services, promote an offer, or help readers find your business. Placement, format, and campaign dates are discussed before booking.
Community event promotion
Share details of an upcoming cultural event, business gathering, or community program. Ask about paid promotional opportunities. Advertising inquiries are separate from decisions about editorial event coverage.
Section or project sponsorship
Explore supporting projects such as the Somali Heritage Museum, Community Spotlight, or community information coverage. Sponsorship availability, recognition, and scope are agreed individually.
Sponsored business features
Ask about a clearly labeled sponsored feature introducing your organization, services, or community work. Sponsored content is subject to review and is presented separately from independent news and opinion.

Ask About Advertising & Sponsorship →Our commitment to readers
Paid advertising and sponsorships must be clearly identified. Advertisers and sponsors do not purchase favorable news coverage or control independent editorial decisions. We review proposed advertising for accuracy and suitability and may decline misleading or inappropriate material.
We do not guarantee audience size, clicks, sales, or other campaign results. Any audience figures shared in a proposal should identify the measurement period and source.
