Policy

The Daily O’Collegian will not accept any advertisement which is libelous, promotes academic dishonesty, violates any federal, state, or local laws, or encourages discrimination against any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, age, color, creed, religion, national origin, disability, or sexual orientation.

The O’Collegian reserves the right to edit or reject any advertising copy at any time. The O’Collegian encourages responsibility and good taste in advertising. Advertising using a person’s name, photograph or other likeness must be authorized to run by notarized consent of the person(s) named or pictured.

Political ads are payable in advance and must conform to the Oklahoma campaign disclosure laws. Political ads must show clear endorsement, i.e. “Political Ad Paid for by (Advertiser). A sample of all mail-order items must be submitted prior to publication. Advertisements appearing as news must have the word “advertisement” printed above. Clear sponsorship must be shown on each ad.

Foreign language ads must be translated into English in order to determine their content before being published. Position requests will be honored when possible, but are not guaranteed.

In case of error or omission, the O’Collegian shall not be liable for slight changes or typographical errors that do not lessen the value of an advertisement.

The O’Collegian liability for other errors or omissions in connection with an advertisement is strictly limited to publication of the advertisement in any subsequent issue or a credit for the advertisement.

The advertiser and/or advertising agency agrees to defend and indemnify the O’Collegian against any and all liability, loss or expenses arising from claims of libel, unfair competition, unfair trade practices, infringement of trademarks, copyrights, trade names, patents or proprietary rights or violation of rights of privacy resulting from the publication of the advertiser’s advertisement.

No ads will be published upside-down, side ways or in any other manner not consistent with traditional newspaper make-up.
