Print or Digital Advertising with The Sentinel

If you are interested in advertising with The Sentinel, you have two options: online or print advertising. Online advertising allows you to reach a large and diverse audience through the paper's website. This type of advertising is cost-effective and provides real-time data on the effectiveness of your campaign. Print advertising, on the other hand, offers a more traditional way of reaching your target audience. The print edition of The Sentinel is distributed on campus, giving you access to a captive audience of students, faculty, and staff. Both options have their own benefits, and the best choice for your business will depend on your specific advertising goals and budget.
