Communiqué Advertising Rates 2008–2009
CQ's new design is a success with both advertisers and members alike!
Communiqué, the official newspaper of NASP, is the premiere
source of news and information relevant to daily practice, trends, and innovations
in the field. Published eight times a year, CQ is mailed to
over 25,000 school psychologists. "Pass-along" readership
includes principals, teachers, counselors, and social workers. Each
issue includes association news; legislative and practice developments; exemplary
programs; reviews of books, tests, and software; job opportunities; and a
center pullout of reproducible handouts.
Display and line ad options make CQ the ideal venue for advertising
professional publications, resources and services; software; testing materials;
conferences; and training opportunities.

required to meet print requirements.

- Frequency discounts are based on the number of same-sized insertions during the
same publishing year (September–June). Rebates earned by using additional
space within that publishing year will be deducted from the final invoice.
- The cancellation of a space reservation will result in an adjustment
of the rate (short-rate) based on previous insertions during that publishing
year to reflect actual space used. Covers are not eligible for cancellation.
