What should a local media kit include?
A local media kit should explain who the audience is, where they are, why advertisers should care, what inventory is available, what proof supports the claims, and what the buyer should do next. The strongest kits connect local audience evidence to specific advertiser outcomes.

Questions local operators ask
Should the rate card come first?
