Arizona Luminaria: Shedding Light on the 2024 Election With Expanded Advertising
Remember that scrappy little online news outlet that popped up back in ’22, the one with a name that sounds like a holiday decoration? Yeah, that’s us, Arizona Luminaria! We’ve been hustling to bring you top-notch local journalism ever since, fueled by the good graces (and ad dollars) of awesome local businesses and nonprofits.
Well folks, buckle up, because is about to get REALLY interesting. As we head into the wild ride that is the 2024 election season, we’re switching things up here at Arizona Luminaria. We’re expanding our advertising horizons to include those attention-grabbing public service announcements and, drumroll please…political ads from the candidates themselves!
Transparency is Key: A Message From Our Co-Founder
Hold on to your hats, dear readers, because we wouldn’t dream of messing with the journalistic integrity that’s become synonymous with the Arizona Luminaria name. Our co-founder, Becky Pallack, wants to assure you that this new advertising strategy comes with a whole lotta transparency and a commitment to staying true to our core values.
Keeping it Clean: The Nitty-Gritty of Our New Ad Policy
We get it; political ads can be kinda like that weird fruitcake your grandma makes – you appreciate the effort, but it’s not always pretty. That’s why we’ve laid down some ground rules for political advertisers, ensuring everything stays above board and, dare we say, even a little bit enjoyable:
- Mission Alignment: Look, if your ad involves mudslinging, shady tactics, or anything that would make our mamas blush, you’re barking up the wrong cactus. Only ads that jive with our mission of promoting civic engagement and respectful dialogue will get the green light.
- Sunshine and Rainbows Only: We’re all about spreading positivity here at Arizona Luminaria (it’s kinda our thing). So, ditch the attack ads and negativity. We’re only interested in positive, issue-focused messages that inspire folks to get out there and vote!
- Clear as Day Labeling: We believe in honesty, especially when it comes to political advertising. Every single political ad we run will be clearly labeled, so you know exactly who’s behind the message. No more guessing games!
Why the Sudden Change of Heart? It’s All About You, Arizona Voters!
With the U.S. Senate race heating up, we here at Arizona Luminaria knew we had to step up our game. We want to be your one-stop shop for everything election-related. Think of us as your super-informed, always-caffeinated election buddy.
We’re talking comprehensive voter guides, deep dives into the candidates and their platforms, and, of course, those eye-catching political ads. Because let’s be real, sometimes you need a little more than just dry policy analysis to make an informed decision.
