I assume it refers to newspapers advertising (horizontally) as opposed to poster or panel boards (vertically), but is there a specific word in English?
Thanks again.

Ads via written medium
Explanation:
Tranditional advertisement relied on printed material as opposded cyberspace advertisements. For the latter example is Trados ad on this site, among hord of others in the internet.
Internet is surely a new medium for advertisement, as opposed to this tradition mode of 平面広告.
Let's say 平面広告 is one dimentional, and Radio/TV and other visual/audio is two dimentional, then cyberspace (internet) ads are three dimentional. This is one analogy you do not need to take into consideration at this time. I just wanted to illustrate the difference.

Your understanding on horizontal and vertical ad is interesting! Although you should not even be bothered by that notion here.
平面広告 is, to put it simply, a written ads, let it be newspaper, poster, leaflet, flyer, magazine, or what Japanese usually and errorneously say パンフレット .......

agree  Minoru Kuwahara: probably most understandable when we consider the term could refer to any advertisement medium in form of plane paper, which is of course printed of the content. -
