MORE ... for the same price!

Call it our financial New Year's present to our readers and advertisers – The Independent from our next issue on 12 July goes full-colour – and on a brighter, whiter, recycled paper stock.

What's more, our image size is larger, and that's good news for our advertisers. Especially as we've decided to freeze our ad rates at the 2005/06 levels.

It's our way of saying thank-you to those who have helped us establish the Indie as inner-Brisbane' s only free, regular, locally focused newspaper.

Finally, it would be churlish of us to mention that another inner-city publication has bumped up their own advertising rates by 5% from July 1, so we won't!
