Incorporate this traditional campus media tactic into your marketing campaign and achieve surprising results.   ![Campus Newspaper Advertising](https://info.mssmedia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Campus%20Newspaper%20Advertising.jpeg?width=600&height=440&name=Campus%20Newspaper%20Advertising.jpeg) ## College newspaper readership is growing. Weekday daily print news circulation has decreased by 19% since 1994, but college newspaper readership [continues to grow](https://gradynewsource.uga.edu/amid-the-decline-of-print-media-college-newspapers-push-onward/). Campus newspapers provide school and community news that can’t be found in other publications. And keeping papers free keeps circulation high. ![MSSmedia OOH and DOOH](https://info.mssmedia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Infographic%20Snippets%20for%20Blog/MSSmedia%20OOH%20and%20DOOH.jpg?width=814&height=338&name=MSSmedia%20OOH%20and%20DOOH.jpg) [![VIEW OUR MARKETING TOOLKIT](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6893619/eef74d23-567c-4feb-b570-52f427df0a1e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6893619/eef74d23-567c-4feb-b570-52f427df0a1e) ## Campus newspapers engender trust. While many colleges have transitioned to a digital news format, a great deal still provide print versions as well. According to [CEO Today](https://www.ceotodaymagazine.com/2019/07/what-are-the-benefits-of-using-posters-as-part-of-your-advertising-mix/), “statistics have shown that traditional print media including newspapers, magazines and poster advertising are highly trusted sources, much more so than online advertising and social media.”   Because college newspapers are community news sources, created by students for students, they are likely to engender even greater levels of trust than other types of print media. Readers perusing the paper for information are likely to view the included advertisements with the same open mind with which they approach the articles themselves.   > ![QuoteMark](https://info.mssmedia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Misc%20Images/QuoteMark.png?width=140&name=QuoteMark.png) > > "Trust is the glue of life.
