Reach our readers
by advertising in Dollars & Sense
Who are we?
Dollars & Sense is a unique publication, tackling economic issues in plain English for readers with a commitment to social and economic justice.
Over 4,000 activists, organizers, students, professors, journalists and others subscribe to the magazine. We estimate a per-issue readership of over 8,000.
We offer advertisers access to a targeted market of opinion shapers deeply concerned with issues of social and economic justice, who use the information they get from us to form their opinions, to speak, to write, and to act on their convictions in their communities.
Our readers buy books and magazines, seek job opportunities including academic faculty and staff positions, attend professional conferences, join and support activist organizations and activities, and travel widely.
Dollars & Sense is published six times a year in Boston, Mass., by the non-profit Economic Affairs Bureau.

How to submit your ad
Ad space reservations must be submitted two months in advance of publication. All ads must be prepaid. We can accept black and white ads only. Call Linda Pinkow at 617-447-2177 for more information. Or .
If possible, display ads should be submitted as PDF files. Quark Xpress and Pagemaker can export directly to PDF; with other programs you may have to create a Postscript file and distill it. If you don't have Acrobat Distiller, you can submit your file in PS (Postscript) or EPS format. In either case, please make sure that all fonts are embedded and that all graphics are high resolution - at least 600 dpi for line art, 200 dpi for grayscale. You can check font embedding in Acrobat Reader (under Document info in the File menu). To check graphics, print out the PDF file—graphics should not look fuzzy, jagged, or pixelated. For best results, all type and graphics should be black and white or grayscale—colors may print faintly or not at all.
