A unifying special section for kids and families celebrates America’s 250th birthday

Posted

America’s 250th anniversary is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and an important opportunity to bring together communities in the spirit of unity, liberty and positivity. At a time when divisions run high across the nation, America’s local newspapers are uniquely positioned to help their communities connect and celebrate what unites us as a nation.

A whole family of community-driven content celebrating the semiquincentennial 

To help local newspapers drive both community and revenue engagement in the months leading up to Independence Day, Metro Creative Graphics has rolled out a comprehensive program dedicated to this historic celebration. Metro subscribers are receiving ongoing installments of editorial page designs, sponsor-ready ad templates, puzzles, patriotic images and more content celebrating America’s past and present throughout the year, available to download directly from their Metro site. In addition to this subscriber content, two turnkey special sections titled America@250 and America@250 for Kids are available to purchase individually or as a bundle. 

A brand-new special section for kids, available now 

In addition to Metro’s signature America@250 special section, a bonus section designed and developed for young readers is also available for subscribers and non-subscribers to purchase. America@250 for Kids is a fun-filled and educational section featuring 32 pages of family-friendly content and activities, from patriotic puzzle pages and presidential pets to the science behind fireworks, easy recipes, influential American kids, historical trivia, U.S. landmarks and more. The all-inclusive, copyright-free content can be localized and run as a section or page series in print or online.
