A: The Chant requires payment in advance to publishing.
Q: Can I send my ad to you as e-mail?
A: Yes. Send e-mail to Rebecca.Zavala@cobbk12.org. The ad staff uses Adobe InDesign and Photoshop to create ads, so the best formats are JPEG or PDF files.
Q: What is your audience?

Q: How often is the newspaper published?
A: Almost every day, new content is added to the site.
Q: When is the deadline for submitting my ad?
A: Anyone who purchases an ad will need to submit their payment and their design (unless our ad staff is creating your design) a week before we publish and will run for 30 consecutive days from first publication.
Q: What are the different ways that I can send advertisement information?
A: You may submit an actual hard copy of the ad, e-mail the ad as a PDF or JPEG file, or have the student staff design your ad.
Q: In what format should it be sent as an email?
A: Send the ad as a JPEG or PDF to Rebecca.Zavala@cobbk12.org.
Q: Who should I contact if I have any questions or comments?
A: Please email our adviser at [email protected] or call (770)975-6685, extension 1610.
Q: Can I request which page my ad is on?
A: The ad staff will make every effort to run your ad on the page or section requested; the earlier the ad is contracted, the better chance of placement in a specific location.
Q: Can I run spot or full color in my ad?
A: Yes. We run all of our ads in color at no additional cost.
Q: Does the The Chant accept political advertising?
A. Yes. Because of the size of the NCHS student body, many candidates for public office, in both the primary and general election, reach a large block of first-time voters by advertising in the The Chant.
Q: When is the best time to advertise?
A: The North Cobb High School prom takes place in March, so advertising in the weeks or months prior to our prom would be most effective way to advertise. Homecoming in the fall takes place in early October.
