According to the National Newspaper Association, the placement of public notices should follow these guidelines. Most people still believe that Public notices should be published in Newspapers. This is because they are independent of the government. And so that they can be accessible to a large, broad group of people far in advance of the hearing or meeting, even if they do not have internet access. Public notices should also be retrievable and archivable, allowing them to be easily found after publication.

To assure the public that notices were placed correctly, notices must also be verifiable. Often, affidavits are required after publication of a notice, including the text placed and the publication dates. This is because public notices are frequently used in legal proceedings to demonstrate that due process was met. When writing a public notice, it is essential to clearly state how public participation will or can impact the decision.
