When you spend your hard-earned advertising budget, do you want your organization's brand to be associated with mediocre journalism or quality journalism? A related question: Is it better for your business — and your community — to invest in a run-of-the-mill media outlet or an excellent media outlet?

Ads are permanently linked to the advertiser’s website or another webpage
• Avoid Ad Annoyance
When you click on a link to read a story, how often are you distracted and derailed by an annoying advertisement, whether an unwanted pop-up or uninvited video? A further question: Does this annoyance endear you to advertisers and incline you to be interested in their goods and services — or the opposite? Ads on the Today Magazine platform are solid and enduring and clearly visible — without being an audio nuisance or a video inconvenience
