tearsheets
Clipped publication samples
Tearsheets are pages literally torn or cut from publications, typically kept as proof that an advertisement ran as contracted or as samples of a writer's, photographer's, or illustrator's published work.
Advertisers receive tearsheets from magazines and newspapers to verify their ad placements.
Freelancers compile tearsheets into portfolios to demonstrate their publication history to potential clients.
