Rodale to Advance Ad Deadlines
Rodale has become the latest magazine publisher to push up its ad deadlines in response to the dismal advertising climate.

Rodale also publishes Men’s Health and Women’s Health, which are served by a different printer from the digest-sized Prevention.
Advertisers have long complained about the long time between ad close and on-sale date, which can run seven weeks at a typical monthly.
