Advice needed
« on: Tuesday 14 February 06 15:55 GMT (UK) »
How would I go about putting an advert in a Cardiff newspaper or a high circulated paper in Cardiff?

I live in Scotland but I need to find someone living in Cardiff regarding mutual family.  No doubt a long shot, as they may not see message.

I would value any advice.  Thanks  :)

The 'South Wales Echo' is circulated throughout South Wales every evening.  They have a website with contact details, google for info, ask their advice.

They also have a daily sister paper called 'The Western Mail' 

Hope this helps

If it were Liverpool our Echo has an Old Pals/Ex Pats noticeboard on the online newspaper site.  Check to see whether the Wales papers have similar, it might save you the cost of placing an advert in the paper as lots of people check these lists.
