pecial sections are a cost-effective way to reach your target

audience and, as outlined on this calendar, the Post-Gazette will publish more than 50 opportunities for you to do so in 2009. From education to entertainment, sports to travel, there really is something for everyone. And as the region’s largest newspaper, the Post-Gazette reaches more than 530,000 readers daily and more than 780,000 on Sundays.
