GREYSCALE
IMAGES
A good original grayscale image should have a range of tones from the highlight
through the midtone to shadow. They should have bright, clean highlights, and be
well focused for optimal reproduction. A high contrast original does not meet these
guidelines. Unsharp Masking or other sharpening techniques should be used to
improve the detail in the printed reproduction. The aimpoints for grayscale images
are as follows:

Terms & Conditions
1. Retail advertising rates apply only to:
A. the sale of advertising space to any single firm or individual advertiser to promote it’s
selling at retail directly to the public within the publisher's retail trading area, typically defined as a
50 mile radius around the newspaper’s plant.
B. the sale of advertising space to promote some special interest or event occurring in
[the publisher]'s retail trading area, the cost of which is to be shared among multiple sponsors. Such
advertising is acceptable at the sole discretion of the publisher and is acceptable only if the reference
to the individual sponsors appears only in a list of sponsors' names, unless the advertisement is an
insert that includes advertisers who are predominantly located outside of the retail trading area:
C. the sale of advertising space to promote retail sales directly to the public from ongoing, non-transient inventories by a group of retailers in contiguous locations within the retail trading area; or
D. the sale of space for political advertising.
2. General advertising rates apply to the sale of all advertising space that does not otherwise meet
the criteria of paragraphs 1 or 2, above, including but not limited to the sale of advertising space for
employment/recruiting purposes and the sale of advertising space to businesses not having an established or permanent location in the publisher's retail trading area.
3. An advertising agency commission program is available to recognized advertising agencies for
national advertising at 15%. Local advertising is generally non-commissionable. However, commission on the local rate will be paid to all national and state associations of which Media General and/or
the newspaper is a current dues paying member, as well as to other newspaper-owned or affiliated
organizations that place advertising with our newspapers on a regular basis. Such commissions may
include payments for new business, existing business, major accounts and one-order-one-billing
services, each of which will be determined by the then current rates of each organization, established
on an equitable basis for all participating newspapers. The local rates of Media General's newspapers
will not be grossed up to include commissions. Any commissions due to networks should be deducted from the local rate.
4. Forwarding of an order by the advertiser is construed as an acceptance by the advertiser of all rates
and conditions under which advertising space is at the time sold by the publisher. Failure to make an
order correspond in price, or otherwise, with the applicable rate card is regarded only as a clerical
error and publication shall be made and charged for based upon the rates and terms of the applicable rate card, without further notice. Special clauses in an order shall not be accepted if they relate to
legal liability or circulation guarantees; the terms and conditions of any form advertising contract prepared and tendered by the advertiser shall be inapplicable to the extend that they are inconsistent
with the terms and conditions stated herein. Execution of the publisher's form advertising contract by
the advertiser is construed as an acceptance of all rates and conditions under which advertising space
is at the time sold by the publisher; provided, however, that to the extent said rates and conditions
are inconsistent with the provisions of [the publisher]'s form advertising contract, the provisions of
the contract shall apply.
5. Submission of an advertisement to a sales representative of the publisher does not constitute a
commitment by the the publisher to publish the advertisement. Only publication of an advertisement
constitutes acceptance of the advertiser's order. Publication of an advertisement does not constitute
an agreement for continued publication. The publisher shall in no event be liable for failure to publish
advertising when specified by the advertiser, provided that, if no advertising is published, any charges
received therefore by the publisher shall be refunded.
6. Acceptance and publication of advertising does not constitute any extension of credit. The publisher may, at its sole discretion, extend credit upon completion of an application for credit, and/or
personal guarantees by the advertiser, and/or any additional information and references deemed necessary. The advertiser should allow 7 working days for the processing of its credit application. When
the publisher extends credit, payments are due by the 15th of the month following publication.

from time to time is an accommodation to the advertiser, the terms of which may be changed by the
publisher upon 7 days’ prior written notice to the advertiser.

submission of statement. A charge of 1.5% per month, which accrues to 18% annually, shall be made
on all unpaid advertising when the account becomes 30 days past due, and such charges shall appear
on the subsequent monthly statement.

is greater than the space specified in the order. If the actual space occupied is less than the space
specified in the order, the publisher shall bill the advertiser for the exact space ordered.
9. The publisher reserves the right to amend or revise rates, terms, conditions, etc. upon 30 days’
written notice; all advertising contracts are accepted subject to this reservation. If said amendments
are not acceptable to the advertiser, the advertiser may, by written notice to the publisher prior to the
effective date of the amendments, cancel its advertising contract without liability for future obligations there under. Any agreements, rates, terms, or conditions not set forth herein or in the advertising contract between the advertiser and the publisher shall be void and of no effect.

deems sufficient, including but not limited to any advertisement deemed objectionable in subject matter, illustration, or phraseology.

such proofs is to provide the advertiser an opportunity to inspect for typographical errors and to make
any price changes. The publisher shall make any other changes if time permits and at an additional
charge of $15 per hour, with a $30 minimum charge. If the advertiser is furnished such proofs, the publisher shall not be held liable or responsible for any error in any published advertisement unless the
advertiser's proof correction requests are returned in ample time before publication and are not met.
Whether or not such proofs are furnished, the publisher shall assume liability for typographical errors
ONLY for the first insertion of the advertisement, and its liability shall not exceed the cost of the space
occupied by the error. In no event shall the publisher be liable or responsible for errors that do not materially affect the value of the advertisement or for errors due to omission of material by the advertiser.

are treated as requests only. Every effort shall be made to comply with such position requests. Subject

shall exact placement on a page be guaranteed.

or its agents, the advertisement must clearly state that it is not authorized by candidate or candidate's
committee and must include the name and residence address of individual responsible for the advertisement. In no event may a political advertisement imply the incumbency of a candidate who is not
in fact the incumbent.

"Paid Advertisement" at the top and/or bottom of the advertisement in 10pt. type. The publisher

such words, may result in a charge for the additional space necessary to include them. In no event
may publisher's masthead or news type be used for advertising purposes.
18. No advertising contract is valid unless signed by the publication's Advertising Manager, Director
