open letter
I don't know what sth is, but from what you say it means these open letter announcements that are common in Latin American newspapers, shouting about one cause or another.

With your explanation I\'ll stick with the same thing, thanks for \"sth\", that\'s a new one to me!

Could also be a \"paid (public) announcement\", but I still prefer \"open letter\".

Sometimes they can be addressed: \"Al Pueblo...\" o \"A la Opinión Púbilca\", etc.

public notices
This is what it is called in the classified section of Australian newspapers, and probably in other parts of the anglo-saxon world, as well.
Another term is "public announcements".
However, the literal meaning of "solicitada" suggests something more specific. Because it has the effect of an adjective, and because it is in the feminine form one wonders what the implied noun is -- i.e. what is it that is being "solicited"? It cannot be "informes".
Could it be "aprobacion"? In that case there is probably a more precise translation than the one I have given.
If you look through the classifieds section of an English language newspaper you might find it. Another possibility that comes to mind is "tenders" i.e. the column where one publicly solicits quotes/offers for a substantial service or purchase.

Solicitada is a noun in Spanish, that�s why one might say: "Sali� una solicitada en el diario desmintiendo el cierre del Banco Cohete, etc."
