Print Advertising

Why The Statesman Still Works in 2026

Print advertising doesn't have to fight with digital advertising for attention: It gets a different kind of attention.

Print advertising

Nobody skips a print ad.

If it's not blocked, a digital ad is given a second look after it's been there for two seconds. Your newspaper ad is part of the amount of time a The Statesman reader spends with their newspaper.

India's oldest English daily, publishing since 1875.

The Statesman is still able to carry institutional weight because of its high circulation, which is 180,000 per day and goes to 230,000 on Sundays. A recognised publication of record across three states.

Nobody skips a print ad.

If it's not blocked, a digital ad is given a second look after it's been there for two seconds. Your newspaper ad is part of the amount of time a The Statesman reader spends with their newspaper.

A recognised publication of record across three states.

Widely accepted for tenders, court notices, recoveries, or statutory disclosures in West Bengal, Odisha, and NCR.

Target East India and Delhi-NCR without tracking anyone.

Pick the Kolkata, Delhi, Siliguri, or Bhubaneswar zone and get there, with no cookies, no consent banners, and no changing the rules later in the quarter.

How to Post a Job Ad in The Statesman

The Statesman reaches established professionals, PSU, academia, and corporate heads across Kolkata, North Bengal, Bhubaneswar, and Delhi via the Quest section.

What to Put in Your Job Ad

Job title first two words, not buried in paragraph three.

Organisation name, unless it's a confidential search.

Key credentials and experience required.

Location — be specific.

Salary range — this matters more than anything else.

How to apply.

Hiring intent seasonality

High — Jan–Mar (Post-Appraisal): Highest job-switch intent period.

High — Jul–Sep (Mid-Year Surge): Mid-year hiring surge; academic-year appointments.

Avoid — Oct & May (Durga Puja / Summer Slowdown): Reduced hiring activity during Puja and summer lulls.

Why your Statesman job ad isn't getting applications

Common mistakes that reduce response quality

01 No salary range

Loses 30–40% of candidates immediately in East India's academic/PSU markets.

02 Vague job title

"Wanted: Staff" is ignored. "Senior Lecturer — Kolkata — ₹8–12L" gets read.

03 Text-only for senior roles

A display ad with branding outperforms plain text for senior executives.

04 Wrong edition

Match edition to hiring location (a Bhubaneswar role needs a Bhubaneswar booking).

05 Only ran once

2–4 insertions over 3–4 weeks beat single runs significantly.

Legal compliance checklist

The Statesman's editorial desk reviews ads before publication — rejections occur for age limits (use "2–5 years experience"), gender language ("Male only," "Female preferred"), appearance references ("fair complexion"), regional exclusions ("Locals only"), and misleading titles (dressing up sales as "executive").
