ASHLAND, Mont. – Truth in Focus is opening an expanded introductory advertising and sponsorship program for local businesses, organizations, events, and community partners.
The program is designed around small, clearly labeled placements rather than turning the publication into a wall of advertising.
Local advertising with straightforward prices
Introductory rates begin at $15 for a seven-day Community Ad Card and $45 for a 30-day Local Business Card.
Current introductory rates are:
- Community Ad Card – $15 for 7 days. A compact, clearly labeled placement for a business, service, event, or organization.
- Local Business Card – $45 for 30 days. A standard website placement with business name, short message, and link or contact information.
- Featured Local Sponsor – $75 for 30 days. A more prominent, limited-inventory website placement.
- Section Sponsor – $125 for 30 days. A limited sponsorship attached to an eligible public-service or site section and clearly separated from editorial coverage.
Rates may change as audience size, advertising inventory, and placement performance develop.
A growing audience
From September 1 through October 5, 2026, the connected Truth in Focus Facebook page recorded approximately 18,727 post impressions, 19,041 media views, 1,521 interactions, and 1,025 page views.
Facebook followers increased from 2 at the beginning of September to 58 by October 4.
Those are Facebook measurements and are not being presented as website traffic.
The Truth in Focus website separately reports more than 2,500 recognized-content views and more than 1,000 distinct visitor hashes since local first-party analytics began in September. Those website figures are internal measurements rather than independently audited circulation numbers.
What advertising supports
Advertising revenue supports hosting, technology, printing, records access, travel, reporting, public-information work, and continued development of the Truth in Focus Record Room.
Advertising does not purchase favorable reporting or editorial influence.
Built for small local advertisers
A business does not need a professional advertising department to participate.
Truth in Focus can build a simple ad card from a business name, short message, contact information, link, and advertiser-supplied image.
Every paid placement is clearly labeled so readers can distinguish advertising from journalism.
How to advertise
Businesses and organizations can request the Version 2.0 media kit, current availability, or a custom package by emailing truthfocus@gmail.com with the subject line Advertising Inquiry.
