Reach them through NU’s always updated, online magazine.
NBN is a more-than-daily online newsmagazine that covers what students actually care about. Readers come for our coverage of music, movies, beauty, fashion, relationships, politics, sports and, of course, Northwestern.
What We Offer
Engaged, affluent readers. Thousands of NU students check the site each week, averaging more than seven minutes per visit and passionately discussing articles. Our readers regularly dine out, attend concerts, buy books, watch movies, and shop in Evanston and Chicago.
Inexpensive rates. Our CPMs are lower than newspapers, magazines and most Web sites, while our placements create more visible and compelling ads than Facebook and other social networks.
A chance to support quality student journalism. We’re not a business; we aim to provide staffers the experience they need to get internships and jobs. In 2007, we earned seven regional and one national Mark of Excellence Awards from the Society of Professional Journalists — more than any other student publication in the state.
