You can account as the same head (Publication charges paid).

When incurring costs for printing or publishing promotional material—brochures, magazines, newsletters, etc.—the expense should be recorded under Operating Expenses, specifically as Advertising & Marketing or under a more precise subcategory like Print & Publication Charges.
This classification is widely accepted and aligns with authoritative accounting charts—such as the UConn Chart of Accounts, which treats such costs as "production of original printed material.”
Why this makes sense:
Captures the promotional intent of the cost.
Ensures clarity in financial reporting and internal analysis.
Avoid placing these costs under COGS or administrative fees (unless they’re purely for content development), to maintain accuracy in expense reporting.
