Why Charleston Sentinel?
Local Focus
We cover Charleston and the Lowcountry exclusively. When someone reads a story about a new restaurant opening on King Street or a zoning fight in Mount Pleasant, they're paying attention. That's when your ad gets noticed.
The Right Readers
People who seek out local news tend to be invested in their community. They own homes, run businesses, hire contractors, book reservations, and spend money locally. These are the customers you want.
No Junk
We don't run clickbait, outrage content, or anything designed to manipulate readers. Your ad appears next to actual journalism about actual things happening in Charleston. That context matters.
Early Opportunity
We launched in January 2026 and we're growing. Advertisers who get in now will have first pick of premium placements and better rates than they'll find a year from now.
Advertising Options
Display Advertising
Banner ads in standard sizes (leaderboard, rectangle, skyscraper) placed throughout the site. We offer run-of-site or category-specific targeting if you want to reach readers interested in real estate, food, business, or other beats.
Newsletter Sponsorship
A dedicated spot in our email newsletter, which goes out to subscribers who opted in because they want Charleston news in their inbox. Open rates for local newsletters typically beat industry averages by a wide margin.
Category Sponsorship
Exclusive branding on an entire section of the site. If you're a real estate firm, you could own our Real Estate section. A restaurant group could sponsor Food & Dining. Your logo and messaging appear on every article in that category.
