Sold by position, not by impression.
Five ways to appear in the Montlior titles. Each is finite, each is labelled, and each is made by people who have never filed for the newsroom.
01 — Print & Display
Four units. Never two in succession.
The Montlior page is deliberately under-sold. Our commercial policy caps every page at four units, forbids placement above the masthead, and forbids any unit between a headline and its story. Advertisers buy a position on a page a reader has already chosen to attend to — not an impression counted somewhere further down a feed.
The same four units run across print, the digital editions and the app. Out of home is sold separately, in fourteen Coravian cities, from the sites the Group has held since the 1970s.
| Unit | Ratio | Where it appears | Per page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Billboard | 1920 × 300 | Front pages below the lead package; end of article pages | 1 |
| Leaderboard | 1920 × 300 | Between section blocks and below section leads | 1 |
| Feature panel | 1280 × 720 | Article pages after the story; front pages above the newsletter band | 1 |
| Rail square | 640 × 640 | Beneath Most Read on front and section pages | 2 |
What is never for sale
The masthead, the lead package, the space between a headline and its story, and every page of About, Careers, corrections and policy. No advertisement may be designed to resemble Montlior journalism, and every unit carries the word “Advertisement” in visible text.
02 — Branded Content Studio
Journalism's craft, on the advertiser's side of the wall.
Fifty-one writers, designers, photographers, data journalists and editors, none of whom have ever filed for Montlior News. The Studio exists so that a brand can commission work of the same standard as the journalism it sits beside, without anyone having to pretend it is journalism.
Every commission is labelled at the top of the page, carries the partner's name in the byline block, and is fact-checked by a reader who reports to the Studio's managing editor and not to the client.
How a commission runs
-
Brief and honest answer
You tell us the argument you want made. Within five working days we tell you whether it can be made truthfully, and what it would cost to make well.
-
Reporting
Interviews, data gathering, archive work and photography. Sources are named. Nothing is invented and nothing is paid for.
-
Draft and check
You see a draft once, for factual correction about your own business. You do not have approval over the argument or the sources.
-
Design and build
Set in the house types, on the house grid, to the same performance budget as a Montlior News feature.
-
Publication and reporting
Labelled, published, promoted across owned channels, and reported on read depth and dwell rather than page views alone.
Reported features
1,600–4,000 words, original photography, six to ten weeks.
Data & visual pieces
Original analysis, published methodology, interactive or print.
Print supplements
Eight to sixty-four pages, bound into a Saturday edition.
03 — Film & Audio
Made in Meridale and Valcourt.
Two studios, a standing crew of nineteen, a grading suite, and the photographic archive of a house that has been documenting Coravia since 1962. Work is commissioned, shot, cut, graded, mixed and distributed inside the same building — which is why a fourteen-minute film takes ten weeks here rather than six months.
| Format | Length | Lead time | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brand documentary | 10–20 min | 10–14 weeks | Article page, app, partner channels, screening |
| Short film | 2–5 min | 6–8 weeks | Feature panel, social cutdowns, newsletter |
| Interview series | 4–8 × 12 min | 12 weeks | Series hub, app, summit stage |
| Podcast sponsorship | 30s host-read | 3 weeks | Six titles, 240,000 weekly downloads |
| Bespoke audio series | 6 × 25 min | 16 weeks | Own feed, promoted across the slate |
The screening room
Forty seats beneath Montlior House, with a 4K projector and a bar that was installed in 1968 and has never been moved. Partners premiere here, usually to a room of their own guests and thirty of ours.
04 — Newsletters & Editions
Eleven titles. One sponsor each.
840,000 people have asked, in writing, to hear from a Montlior editor before eight in the morning. That is a different kind of permission from an impression, and we price and protect it accordingly: one sponsor per edition, one slot, above a rule, never inside the editorial.
Every partner receives the subscriber count, the delivered count, the unique open rate and the click-through in the same week the edition ships — measured, not modelled.
| Title | Frequency | Subscribers | Open rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Meridale Memo | Weekday, 06:45 | 184,000 | 58% |
| Business Daily | Weekday, 07:00 | 161,000 | 61% |
| The Chancery Note | Weekly, Tuesday | 96,000 | 54% |
| Markets at Noon | Weekday, 12:00 | 88,000 | 49% |
| Coravia Politics | Weekday, 17:30 | 74,000 | 52% |
| The Long Read | Weekly, Saturday | 71,000 | 63% |
| Six other titles | Weekly and fortnightly | 166,000 | 47–59% |
Twelve-month averages to December 2025 — see the methodology note.
05 — Events & Summits
Two hundred people who would otherwise be unreachable.
Thirteen convenings a year, every one of them chaired by a Montlior editor and programmed by the newsroom. Partners take the room, the record, the delegate list and the film. They do not take the programme, the speakers or the questions — and that is precisely why the people you want in the room agree to come.
| Convening | When | Delegates | Board level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coravia Capital Summit | March, Meridale | 212 | 68% |
| Meridale Industry Forum | May, Meridale | 340 | 51% |
| The Energy Table | June, Valcourt | 90 | 74% |
| Health & the State | September, Meridale | 160 | 58% |
| The Chancery Dinner | November, Meridale | 120 | 81% |
| Eight private roundtables | Throughout | 12–20 | 85% |
Headline partner
One per convening. Naming, the opening welcome, the delegate list, the film, and a private dinner either side.
Session partner
Up to three per convening. One session associated, a seat on the panel where relevant, and the recording.
Roundtable host
Twelve to twenty guests, Chatham House rule, chaired by the relevant Montlior editor. No presentation.
How we sell
There is no self-serve. Every campaign on this site was planned in a conversation with a named person at Montlior Media, and every one of them began with us establishing whether we were the right title at all.
- Print and display are sold by position, in two-week minimum flights
- Studio commissions are fixed-fee, quoted after the brief and before the work
- Newsletters are sold by edition, one sponsor at a time, up to a quarter ahead
- Summit partnerships open twelve months ahead and are rarely available inside six
- Rate cards are issued on request and are the same for every buyer

A conversation with the partnerships desk costs nothing and commits you to nothing. We will tell you honestly whether Montlior is the right title for what you are trying to do.
