The upper right-hand corner of The Stranger's cover usually features a small, prominent headline that appears in a bullet, an arrow, or a starburst. We call this the "hot box," because it's impossible to miss. Week in, week out, it's the most prominent, most widely read element in the whole paper... and for one week, it can be all yours. Got a short, punchy message to send? Propose to your lover! Quit your job! Mock your enemies! Get it off your chest on the cover of The Stranger!
