How to Support or Get Involved with Nassau Weekly

Nassau Weekly offers four clear paths to support or participate: Donate, Advertise, Join Us, and Submit a piece. The first three are the involvement routes most relevant to readers and businesses; submitting writing or art is covered separately. All four appear in the site's main navigation, so you can reach them from any page. Nassau Weekly describes itself as Princeton's weekly alternative magazine, published since 1976, with issues released every Sunday.

The four involvement paths at a glance

Donate: supporting the publication financially

The Donate option sits in the About menu, alongside About, Advertise, and Join Us. The site does not publish donation amounts, payment platforms, or whether donations are tax-deductible, so treat those details as unknown until you open the Donate page itself. If you want to support the paper and need specifics before giving, use the Donate link as your starting point and check what the page asks for.

Advertise: reaching Princeton's campus audience

Businesses and organizations can use the Advertise link, also under About. The site gives no rate card, audience numbers, or ad formats, so you'll need to follow the link to see what's offered. Given the publication's stated focus—campus, local, and national news for a Princeton readership—advertising here suits organizations targeting that community. Confirm placement options and pricing directly through the Advertise page before committing.

Join Us: getting involved as a student

The Join Us path is aimed at students who want to contribute to the publication. The site doesn't spell out eligibility rules, meeting times, or open roles, so the Join Us page is the place to learn how the team is organized and what's expected. If you're a Princeton student hoping to write, edit, or help produce the paper, start there.

Submit: contributing writing and art

The Submit menu lists three routes:

• Submit a piece — general submissions of writing or art
• Submit a Verbatim — the paper runs a "Verbatims" feature of overheard quotes (samples on the site include lines overheard at move-in, the National Mall, and Midtown Manhattan)
• Submit to poetry/fiction competition — a dedicated entry route for the poetry and fiction competition

The site doesn't publish word counts, deadlines, or response times, so check each submission page for current requirements. The published sections give a sense of what fits: Essays, Nass Recommends, Soapbox, Second Look, Fiction, Poetry, Arts, Music, Food, Campus Society, Crosswords, Cartoons, Art, and Audiovisual.

Following the publication

Beyond contributing, you can keep up with Nassau Weekly through its YouTube and Instagram accounts, both linked in the site navigation. The homepage also has a "WATCH →" section and a "RECENT ISSUES" area with a "View all issues" link, so you can read current and past issues without leaving the site.

Which path should you choose?

• You want to fund the paper → Donate.
• You represent a business or organization → Advertise.
• You're a student who wants to help make the paper → Join Us.
• You have writing or art to publish → Submit, choosing the piece, Verbatim, or competition route as appropriate.
• You just want to stay connected → follow on YouTube and Instagram, and read recent issues online.

Because the site doesn't publish donation mechanics, ad rates, or submission guidelines, the practical next step for any of these paths is to open the corresponding page and read its current instructions.
