The Star has traditionally been delivered into mailboxes during the second week of the month. This had the drawback of precluding any notices of, or advertising for events before that time.
Last year, to rectify this, we decided to go for an earlier monthly delivery. To achieve this the deadline was moved forward three days, the production process condensed and print-run time slot brought forward.
However, meeting the new the print time slot leaves no wriggle room with the printer – deadlines must be adhered to. All booked advertising copy and editorial items must be in by 4 pm on the last Wednesday of each month.
Also, advertisers please check off and return as quickly as possible created adverts which have been sent to you for sign-off.
Receiving editorial and advertising copy well before the deadline is always greatly appreciated.
