Advertising
New Scientist runs many pages of advertisements for jobs in the field of science in the last section of the magazine. In the early days they were in a "Classified Advertisements" section with subsections "Official Appointments", "Appointments and Situations Vacant", and "Travel", with a list of coach holidays and prices. The general classified section was dropped in favour of what in 2011 is NewScientist Jobs. In addition to more mundane advertising (cars, computers, airlines), advertisements for things of interest to scientists and technologists are interspersed within the magazine.
