NEW SECTION TO SUPPORT LOCAL RESTAURANTS COMING OUT THIS SUMMER!
In our continued effort to support restaurants in and near the Madison Parish, we will be putting together a special section this summer. Our goal is for the section to come out in June. Below is how it works:
-A restaurant purchasing a 1/4 page ad will have one story in the section.
-A restaurant purchasing a 1/2 page ad will have one story in the section and three video commercials on Facebook and the Madison Journal website.
-A restaurant purchasing a full-page ad will have one story in the section, three video commercials on Facebook and the Madison Journal website and a 1/4 page ad in the Madison Journal for four editions.
Call Josh Troy at (662) 313-0192 or email him at [email protected] with suggestions and inquiries.
