Advertise with The Boundary Sentinel

The Boundary Sentinel offers a small number of advertising and sponsored-content opportunities for businesses and organizations that want to reach readers in the Boundary and surrounding region.

We keep our commercial offerings deliberately limited. Advertising helps support independent local journalism but does not influence what we cover or how we cover it.

Homepage Supporter — $300 for three months

Become one of only three Homepage Supporters of The Boundary Sentinel.

Homepage Supporters receive a prominent visual placement near the top of The Boundary Sentinel homepage for three months.

Your placement includes:

  • one of only three Homepage Supporter positions;

  • a large image or graphic representing your business or organization;

  • your business or organization name;

  • a short description;

  • a direct link to your website or selected page; and

  • three months of continuous placement on The Boundary Sentinel homepage.

The cost is $300 for three months, paid in advance.

Only three Homepage Supporter positions are available at a time.

You can see the current Supporters section on our homepage to get an idea of the size and placement your business will receive.

Sponsored Local Feature — $250

Have something about your business, organization, service, event or project that you would like Boundary readers to know about?

The Boundary Sentinel can produce an original Sponsored Local Feature based on information you provide and an interview conducted by email.

The $250 package includes:

  • an original sponsored feature of approximately 500–800 words;

  • an interview conducted by email;

  • up to four supplied photographs;

  • links to your website or other relevant pages;

  • permanent publication on The Boundary Sentinel website;

  • promotion through Boundary Sentinel social channels; and

  • one round of factual corrections before publication.

You do not need to write the article yourself.

Sponsored Local Features are clearly labelled Sponsored Content so readers understand the commercial relationship.

The sponsoring business may review the article for factual accuracy, but The Boundary Sentinel retains control over wording, headlines, structure and final presentation.

A maximum of four Sponsored Local Features are available each month.

Homepage Supporter + Sponsored Local Feature — $500

Businesses that want both ongoing homepage visibility and a professionally written sponsored feature can combine the two options.

The package includes one three-month Homepage Supporter placement and one Sponsored Local Feature.

Purchased separately, the two options cost $550. The package price is $500.

No sales meeting required

Everything can be arranged by email.

Tell us what you would like to promote, and we can help determine whether a Homepage Supporter placement, Sponsored Local Feature or combination package makes sense.

There is no requirement for a phone call or sales meeting.

News submissions are still free

Businesses and organizations do not need to purchase advertising to receive legitimate news coverage.

Newsworthy announcements may still be submitted to The Boundary Sentinel for editorial consideration at no charge.

News coverage is selected according to editorial judgment and public interest. Purchasing advertising does not guarantee news coverage or favourable coverage, and choosing not to advertise does not affect editorial consideration.

Sponsored-content standards

Advertising and sponsored material are kept separate from The Boundary Sentinel's independent journalism.

Sponsored content is clearly identified as paid material. Promotional claims must be accurate and supportable, and The Boundary Sentinel may decline or revise material that is misleading, defamatory or inconsistent with its publishing standards.

Payment is required before sponsored content is published or a Homepage Supporter placement begins.
