pecial sections are a cost-effective way to reach your target audience. In 2012, the Post-Gazette will publish more than 50 special sections, focusing on everything from business, travel and cars, to home and garden and education. These special sections have a long shelf-life with readers and many are stand-alone sections.

The Post-Gazette is the region’s largest daily newspaper and delivers the region’s largest daily audience. Your advertising message will reach an even larger audience when you add post-gazette.com to your media mix. Many of the Post-Gazette’s special sections have online components such as videos and interactive directories that aren’t available in the print edition.

The Post-Gazette also offers advertising opportunities on special digital products including a mobile platform for smart phones, an iPad app and the afternoon electronic edition, The Pittsburgh Press.
