Print Advertising


Due to Covid-19 we are not producing any print editions of The Daily Pennsylvanian during the 2020 fall semester. Print ads will not be available for purchase until January 2021. 

The Daily Pennsylvanian

The Daily Pennsylvanian, better known as the DP, is the award-winning student newspaper at the University of Pennsylvania. The DP is frequently recognized as one of the top college newspapers in the country. Publishing twice a week with a circulation of 5,000 copies on Mondays and Thursdays, the DP delivers to the Penn community relevant coverage of breaking news, sports, and commentary — plus the New York Times Crossword Puzzle, Sudoku, and hundreds of informative ads for products and services.

The front page is the most prominent position for an ad. Only one front page ad is available in each issue, on a first-come-first-serve basis. There is only one size available: the ad runs across the entire bottom of the front page, 6 columns (10.875”) wide by 2” tall. Color is included in the cost of the ad.
