Capitol Leader Releases Ad Rates

A couple of Capitol Leader updates: The paper has announced some of their contributors: Bruce Fein, Dr. Ronald Walters, Jack Valenti, Andrew Rasiej and Micah Sifry. Their full bios after the jump... We've also obtained some of their promotional material, including their ad rates. Intro page "Founder" Rates Capitol Leader's Leaders Ad Rates Some notes: The paper comes out on the 21st...an interesting gamble since the first four issues will come out when Congress is out of town. How do these ad rates stack up with Capitol Hill competitors? Our initial analysis indicates the rates are quite similar to those of The Hill and Roll Call. Is this a bold, cocky move? Or a way of saying, "We're here to play with the Big Boys from Day One?" Which lovely FishbowlDC reader will send us the ad rates for those other Capitol Hill publications? What will Capitol Leader's circulation be? And does it matter? In the Capitol Hill market, it's not always circulation that is the biggest indicator of success--it's influence and proven readership. And there's always a difference between "circulation" and "paid readership." Roll Call has a circulation of roughly 18,000 and The Hill, which advertises on their front banner that they have the "largest circulation of any Capitol Hill publication", has a circulation of 21,000 (according to their website). Yet Roll Call makes more money and has historically been the market's dominant newspaper (although, to be fair, most everyone concedes that The Hill has made significant strides in recent years to reduce the reporting gap). Reader thoughts? And how's that dry run coming along, Capitol Leader?
