newspaper, with a weekly distribution of 3,000 issues, you will have the potential to
directly reach over 8,000 Lakehead University students, faculty, staff, and alumni as wel
as additional community exposure through our affordable and highly effective advertising
opportunities.

to the city of Thunder Bay over their educational tenure. Don’t be left behind; ensure that
you will increase your awareness amongst Thunder Bay’s youth and future.
The Argus is a diverse weekly publication, which offers week long exposure compared to a
one-shot daily advertisement provided in the Chronicle Journal. The 2007 Canadian Campus
Market Research Study found that 44% of students will read 4 out of 4 campus newspaper
issues, thus campus newspapers have a higher readership amongst students over every other
print media source. Additionally, it was found that 84% of students were likely to notice
advertisements in their student newspaper. What does all of this information mean for you
and your organization? You will be provided with the best possible exposure and share o
mind with the student market that quite simply cannot be obtained in any other way.
Maximize Your Advertisement’s Exposure!Your message is important and students want to be informed. Did you know that 95% of al
University students read at least one out of every fourth issue of their campus newspaper?
Furthermore, nearly 80% of students believe that campus newspaper advertising is useful
to their needs! So why not ensure that your message reaches nearly everyone possible and
book consecutive ads. The Argus’ recently revamped discount packages will not only save
you money and provide you with even more added value, but will most importantly ensure
that you will maximize your message’s exposure.
