newspaper ad

Column-adjacent sales pitch

A newspaper ad is an advertisement printed in a newspaper, typically paid for by businesses, individuals, or organizations.

Newspaper ads range from small classified listings to full-page displays.

The format dominated advertising before digital media: My grandparents met through a newspaper ad.

Now often shortened to simply "ad" when context is clear.
