The proof is in the publication! Each week, five newspapers are selected and reviewed by Pamela in the MNA office for both the SCAN ads and the SDAP ads. Using the MNA digital archive (Tecnavia), Pamela visually inspects newspapers digital pages. On occasion, if the pages are not yet uploaded or not complete, Pamela will request a tearsheet be sent as proof that statewide ads were published. This allows early detection if ads did not run as ordered and possible “make goods”. • More and more state government agencies and departments are using statewide ads in addition to
regular display ads. • And, most state government entities require MNA to provide an Affidavit of Publication for statewide
advertising. The Affidavit lists the number of newspapers running the ads and during specific timeframes/dates. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance!
Thank you to the 70 member newspapers who participate in the statewide advertising network!
