Jobs in Geography (JIG) Ad Information

The AAG Newsletter is published monthly except for July-August, which appears as a single issue. Current circulation is approximately 10,000.

Submission deadline for the newsletter is the first day of the month previous. For example: the deadline is October 1 for the November issue. The combined July-August issue has a slightly later deadline, June 10.

JIGs are published in the AAG Newsletter and posted on-line at aag.org for two months (except for display ads, which run on a per-month basis). Announcements run for two consecutive issues unless a stated deadline permits only one listing. Announcements may be removed from the AAG website following the expiration of a stated deadline.

Although the lead time required for print ads is significant, JIGs can usually be posted on-line within a few days. The JIGs are updated weekly. The Jobs in Geography portion of the AAG website is available to members only and is one of our most popular on-line features.

The cost is $1.25 per word with a minimum charge of $150. Standard run time is two months. Announcements run for two consecutive issues unless a stated deadline permits only one listing.

You may also place a display ad (rates are listed below) which must be submitted as a PDF. Display ads are ads that are designed by the customer and submitted as a single image. Cost is based on size, not on a per word basis. The text of the ad must also be submitted as a Word document to assure its timely posting to the website. Note that rates for display ads are for one month only.

DISCLAIMER
The AAG claims no responsibility for editing advertisements. The AAG assumes that ads submitted for publication have been fact-checked and edited for grammatical and other errors by the advertiser. The AAG claims no responsibility for errors made in processing requests when ads are not submitted in the proper format or inconsistent with AAG policy. Employers should notify the Newsletter Editor to cancel a listing once the position is filled. The Editor reserves the right to edit announcements to conform to established format. All ads must be in English.

LINE ADS
A simple text-only ad is called a line ad. Job ads are run for two months in the AAG Newsletter and are posted on the AAG website (members-only portion) until the end of the two-month print run. The on-line version is posted soon after receiving the request and usually much sooner than the printed newsletter reaches its destination. JIGs on-line are updated weekly.

SPECIAL REQUESTS
An advertiser may request that an ad run in-print only, on-line only, or for one month only, but the price is the same. There are no discounts for special requests.

DISPLAY ADS
Display ads may be purchased at the following rates:

A display ad must be sent as a PDF with appropriate dimensions as noted above.
Display ads run both in print and on-line for one month only. Due to technical limitations we are unable to run a display ad on-line as it appears in the print newsletter. However, we will run the text of the ad on-line if the advertiser supplies us with the text as a separate document. We require that the advertiser send a Word file of the text of the ad in addition to the PDF to assure the timely posting of the ad to the AAG website. If the advertiser does not send a separate text document we cannot guarantee that the text of the display ad will appear on-line. Please send the text of the display ad in addition to the PDF.

TO PLACE A JIG:
Send an email to the newsletter editor at: jig@aag.org.
Please make sure to edit and read your ad carefully before you submit it.

FORMAT
Please submit line ads as a Word document (or if a display ad, as a PDF).
Place the state, city and zip code in ALL CAPS and bold at the top of your ad like this:
MARYLAND, SPRINGFIELD 20912. Follow this heading with the text of your advertisement.

BILLING ADDRESS
We will send you an invoice during the first month of printed publication. Please include the appropriate billing address when you submit your ad.

PHONE PAYMENTS BY CREDIT CARD
Those paying by credit card often like to do so by telephone. Please wait until you receive your invoice by mail. The AAG does not accept payment for JIGs until invoices have been processed and mailed to the customer. Payments may be made by phone by calling (202) 234-1450.
