classified advertising  

Definition

  • Since the mid-1990s the term classified advertising has expanded from those relatively short messages merely appearing as print ads to more elaborate types of advertising in various periodicals, as well as on the Internet and cable television. As newspaper classifieds have notably declined, those on electronic media continue to expand. [Source: Encyclopedia of Journalism; Classified Advertising]
