(Updated for Fall 2008)

The Fed is a great medium for advertisement in and around the Columbia Community. We reach a great number of students and faculty and our prices are very affordable.

Advertising in The Fed is the most cost effective way to reach the Columbia community. The Fed reaches over 5,000 Columbia students every month, and enjoys an enthusiastic following among undergraduates. Our readers look to us for an original, critical, funny and smart viewpoint that no other campus publication can match. We have a reputation for professional-quality production and top-notch writing. The Fed's strongly positive image can be an asset to your organization when you advertise with us.

Fed ad rates consistently undercut those of our competitor papers by large margins. Compare our rates to those of the Spectator, The Blue and White, or the Bulletin. An ad in The Fed reaches more of the campus, and commands more respect among the student body, for less.

We will be happy to provide you with sample issues of The Fed, with our publication schedule for this semester, or with a printed list of our ad rates. Please feel free to email us if you would like more information.
