Who are we?

Copper Area News Publishers was started by John D. Seater in the 1950’s as a newspaper for the newly built community of Kearny. The newspaper was called the Copper Basin News. He retained ownership for several years before selling the publication and relocating his family to Texas.

In the 1970’s Mr. Seater and his family returned to Arizona and repurchased the Copper Basin News. He further expanded by purchasing the Superior Sun (covering Superior Arizona ) and the San Manuel Miner (covering the Arizona communities of San Manuel, Mammoth and Oracle).

During the 1980’s Mr. Seater’s daughter Gayle and her husband James Carnes took over day to day management of the publishing group. They shepherded the newspapers through to the Great Recession. Gayle and James’ son Michael and his wife Jennifer Carnes joined the publishing group in 2007.

During 2008, the publishing group began to expand by adding the Nugget (covering arts and entertainment in Eastern Pinal and Gila counties) and Oracle Town Crier (covering the Arizona community of Oracle).

During 2014, the publishing group added its first digital only publication Copper Town News (covering the Arizona communities of Globe, Miami and San Carlos). The San Tan Valley Daily PRSS was added in 2016.

STVDailyPrss.com is the second digital only property for Copper Area New Publishers.

A Message from the Managing Editor I have worked at Copper Area News Publishers for more than 20 years. I trained across the desk from Gayle Carnes and stepped into the roll of Managing Editor when she retired.

As managing editor, I maintain the standards begun by Mr. Seater and continued by Gayle Carnes. I celebrate our readers and offer them a voice. I don’t chase the headline. I require my staff to tell the story, drilling down below the headline. I ensure the newspapers are a positive and productive part of the community conversation.

Advertisers are family. The publishing group’s owners and staff patronize its advertisers. The readers do the same!

Ad Size Guide What Should I Put In My Ad?

Making the difficult choices about on what exactly to put in your ad are made easier with the general guidelines listed below.

How Much Ad Space Do I Need?

Full Page/ Double Page Spread • The full page or double page spread allows a business to create an ad with maximum impact.

• White space (space not filled with content) is an excellent why to generate focus and create impact.

Don’t be afraid to leave some space that is not filled with words or images. Your goal is to first garner attention and inform second. A cluttered ad frequently lacks the desired outcome.

• Large ads require high resolution images for the best reproduction. Please consult our Detailed Ad Submission Information document.

• Large ads need fantastic images. Please consider arranging a photographer to catch the perfect image for you. We can refer several that are near your place of business.

Vertical Half Page • The shape is narrow and tall. The shape lends itself well to lists such as event dates or a single product details.

• Please consider your graphics carefully as they need to look great in the tall and narrow shape.

Horizontal Page • The shape is more square than its vertical sibling. You can make a great impact without using the entire page.

• Businesses with multiple locations or several key items/concepts to communicate find this size more beneficial.

Quarter Page • The smaller space allows one major point to be communicated with great graphics and contact information.

• The quarter page ad is a good budget comprise to maintain regular frequency in the publication(s) and preserve funding for larger ads when there is a big announcement or event.

Minimum Ad Size • Our smallest size is reserved only for the Copperarea. com publications.

• This size is ideal for a maintaining a business card style advertisement such as a basic home service or repair.

Some Additional Items To Consider

Multiple Locations • If your business has multiple locations, a quarter page or larger is best. Otherwise, your most critical information might be lost with all the other ad information.

Big Event • If your business or organization has an annual event or a set of events throughout the year, consider an annual contract. You’ll get the best discounts and the ability to up-size your ad at lower cost. Longer contracts earn larger discounts.

Business group or trade association • If you are part of a business group or a trade association, we can provide special pricing allowing your membership to share in the ad cost and take advantage of larger combined ad sizes in one or multiple publications. Contact Michael Carnes at michaelc@sevledger.com or (480) 620-6989 for more information.

Seasonal •If your business has a highly seasonal nature, your contract can be customized to gain you the maximum exposure when you need it at the best price. The publishing group can design a marketing schedule that makes the most sense for your business cycle.

Other Needs

• If you need a website built, newsletter created, email marketing assistance, or content assistance for ongoing marketing efforts, we are here to help. Contact Michael Carnes at michaelc@sevledger.com or (480) 620-6989 for more information.

General Ad Requirements To Keep In Mind

• We need your submitted ads to be the proper size.

Please refer to our Advertising Rates section of the Media Kit. • Use the Advertising Checklist to help navigate the process.

• Please do not include crop marks in your submitted ad file. See our Detailed Ad Submission document for more information.

• If you have any questions please contact: Mila at mila@sevledger.com or (520) 827-0676 Michael Carnes at michaelc@sevledger.com or (480) 620-6989.
