- What are your booking/material deadlines?
It is difficult to generalise with booking and material deadlines, as all newspapers are different. It is perhaps safe to say, weekly newspapers have an early booking and material deadline of 3 days prior as they print so early.
Paid newspapers are generally a 3 day prior booking deadline with a 2 day material deadline. However, please check with our office.
