NAA Reveals Biggest Ad Revenue Plunge in More Than 50 Years

By Jennifer Saba

NEW YORK The newspaper industry has experienced the worst drop in advertising revenue in more than 50 years.

Hey – I have a business idea for the News Journal and other newspapers. STOP SUCKING SO MUCH.

Be newspapers instead of useless corporate shills. Stop pandering to the right wing for fear of being regarded as liberal. Write an investigative story that blows the lid off of the McDowell/Copeland collusion. Do some journalism for once.

Give people a reason to buy your content and the advertisers will follow.
