Guidance

Clear expectations for local campaigns

Valley Times advertising policies help keep campaigns clear, properly labelled, locally appropriate, and easier to review before publication.

  • Clear policies reduce confusion for both advertisers and readers.
  • Campaigns work better when creative, timing, and disclosure expectations are understood early.
  • A useful policy protects the reader experience while supporting fair commercial visibility.
Creative and clarity expectations

Advertising should be clear, readable, and suited to the placement where it appears.

Labelling and separation

Sponsored content and promotional material should be easy for readers to recognize as such.

Timing and approvals

Campaign planning works more smoothly when creative and scheduling questions are handled before deadlines tighten.
