Welcome Countrywide !
We Welcome Michael Carrier with CountryWide
Home Loans as one of our New Advertisers.
Please support our advertisers and let them know
you saw them on our sites.
Are they Asking YOU ? Are They Running Out of Time ?
The "new" newspaper in the area - TBT - is
conducting a survey of "young business
professionals" to better define their market and their
publication. Have they contacted You ?
Rumor has it that the Weekly Planet is doing
the same.
If you want to give them your opinions regarding
their publications, and they haven't asked you, you
can email the editors here:
david.warner@weeklyplanet.com or editors@tbt.com
The problem is not just with these two papers, but it
part of an overall trend.
20 Year Decline in Circulation - Time May Be Up Soon !
The Washington Post recently indicated that
circulation at 814 of the nation's largest daily
newspapers continued their 20 year decline as people
increasingly turn to other media such as the Internet
and 24-hour cable news networks for information.
Shouldn't you be advertising on the internet ?
AND since you are reading this -
shouldn't you be advertising on one - or more - of
our sites ?
