For college newspapers (in the US), I found the following introductory article today: http://www.medialifemagazine.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi?archive=170&num=3393
It gives a summary of the marketplace for ads in college and university newspapers, and links to three companies that specialize in placing ads in these papers (so you don't have to get in touch with 500 newspapers yourself). The three they mention are: - Alloy Media + Marketing at www.alloymarketing.com - Campus Media Group at www.campusmediagroup.com - Y2M/College Publisher at www.y2m.com Hopefully this is a good starting point for the higher education sector! -Ben ---- OpenOffice and open source blog: http://www.solidoffice.com/ Wiki business directory: http://www.wikipages.com/ On Thursday, September 06, 2007, at 11:37AM, "Florian Effenberger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Hello everyone, > >and first of all a big thank you to everyone involved in the >constructive discussions!
