Education Issues
In the market with the highest percentage of college graduates among the top 10 DMAs, it’s not surprising that people in Washington care about education.
The Magazine responds to its wise and worldly audience by making education one of its primary themes. In so doing, we offer advertisers the means to connect with influential adults who want to read more about this essential subject in our Education Issues.
A passion for learning defines the Washington region. And The Washington Post Magazine knows this. The Washington Post has the highest major market concentration of adults with college degrees and post-graduate degrees, and 1.9 million parents who worry about their children’s education. Others actively seek colleges, graduate education, executive education and career training to learn skills and explore new opportunities.
Consider the readers you’ll reach in The Washington Post Magazine:
- 50% are college graduates,
- 28% have studied for/received post-graduate degrees,
- 42% hold professional/managerial positions,
- 80% live in households with computers,
- 18% have attended adult education classes in the past 12 months and

A complementary environment every week — and special opportunities, too. As part of our commitment to education, we go beyond our regular coverage to provide readers with special education issues and features several times a year. Top writers from both the newspaper and Magazine cover a broad range of topics — from which area schools get the best grades to important ways to prepare for a new career.
