Every paper on the map, who to talk to, where it stands, and a draft to start from. Every contact has been checked twice — once found, once independently re-verified against the paper’s own masthead. Tags show how solid each one is; anything “likely” deserves a phone call first. The blue button on each card opens the finished email in your mail app — read it, adjust a line if you like, and send it from editor@themiddleburgpage.com.
Dear Mary, I publish The Middleburg Page in Hunt Country, Virginia, and I'm writing to invite Great Falls Connection / Vienna-Oakton Connection into something we've already proven at home. Once a month we print a full page: one half is a rescue story reported from our local animal shelter, under our byline and our editorial control. The other half is a story Mars Petcare supplies about how it makes pet food and works for pets — because McLean matters to them. Mars, Incorporated is headquartered in your coverage area — and almost nobody in McLean reads about it in a local paper. Their national campaign is called “Mars Is Closer Than You Think.” In McLean, it literally is. Here is what makes it work: along the bottom of the page run eight reader-submitted pet photographs, each paid for by the family whose pet appears. The page funds itself from your own readers — it does not depend on a national advertiser renewing. We are deliberately starting with independent papers like yours — one conversation, one decision-maker, no corporate ad policy in the way. Mars buys the space; we send you their finished story and the advertisement each month, free, plus a finished vertical video of your rescue story for your social accounts. You supply the one thing only you have: the reporting from your local shelter. The page is already running in the Fauquier Times and The Georgetowner. The whole arrangement — the template, the rates, the editorial standard (Mars never sees the rescue reporting before your readers do) — is at themiddleburgpage.com/mars-partnership. It's a ten-minute read and everything an editor needs to decide. May I call you this week? Leland Schwartz Publisher, The Middleburg Page editor@themiddleburgpage.com · 540 422 1376

Dear Jerry, I publish The Middleburg Page in Hunt Country, Virginia, and I'm writing to invite Temple Daily Telegram into something we've already proven at home. Once a month we print a full page: one half is a rescue story reported from our local animal shelter, under our byline and our editorial control. The other half is a story Mars Petcare supplies about how it makes pet food and works for pets — because Temple matters to them. The Mars plant in Temple — 109,000 square feet at 3401 Eberhard Rd, operating since 1987 — is one of the biggest quiet employers in your coverage area, and their national campaign slogan is “Mars Is Closer Than You Think.” In Temple, it literally is. Here is what makes it work: along the bottom of the page run eight reader-submitted pet photographs, each paid for by the family whose pet appears. The page funds itself from your own readers — it does not depend on a national advertiser renewing. We are deliberately starting with independent papers like yours — one conversation, one decision-maker, no corporate ad policy in the way. Mars buys the space; we send you their finished story and the advertisement each month, free, plus a finished vertical video of your rescue story for your social accounts. You supply the one thing only you have: the reporting from your local shelter. The page is already running in the Fauquier Times and The Georgetowner.
