Sponsorship packages
Monthly sponsorships put a single business at the top of the sections and guides that Westminster Wire readers rely on. Each placement has one sponsor, so a sponsor's name is never shared. Built for local businesses such as restaurants, realtors, medical practices, banks and shops that want steady visibility in Westminster.
Newsletter
The weekly guide to what is happening in Westminster. The sponsor's name and link open the section in every edition: "Around Town is presented by [Your Business]."
Newsletter
Shows, festivals and events coming up in the next few weeks, for readers who plan and buy tickets ahead. The sponsor's name and link open the section in every edition.
Website
The sponsor's name, logo and link at the top of one of the guides on westminster-wire.com, including the Westminster trail map, where readers return month after month.
Sponsors who commit to a full year up front receive two months free.
Founding sponsors keep their rate for as long as they stay sponsored.
Packages are billed monthly. A rate card is sent the same day an inquiry arrives.

How it works
Select a package and Westminster Wire confirms it is reserved.
One sentence about the business, a logo and a link.
The sponsorship begins with the next edition. Billing is automatic each month.
Sponsorships have a three-month minimum, then continue month to month and can be cancelled with 30 days' notice. Each quarter, sponsors receive a short report showing how many readers saw their name and clicked their link.
Editorial independence
Sponsors support Westminster Wire's community sections and guides, such as Around Town and Looking Ahead. Sponsorships are never sold against news coverage, including reporting on schools, local government, elections, crime and public safety.
Sponsors have no say in what Westminster Wire covers. They do not see stories before publication, and sponsoring the Wire does not keep a story in or out. When a sponsor makes news, it is covered like anyone else. Sponsor content is clearly labeled, and Westminster Wire may decline any sponsorship.
Email [email protected] to ask about a sponsorship. Inquiries receive a response within two business days.
