Locals newspapers were a grocery shopper and a comic book that dabbled in journalism as well.

Don't forget the classifieds as a critical revenue stream.

Hilarious but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true. Upon some reflection, Marcella Hazan’s Tomato Sauce recipe is probably the most that i’ve actively sought the nyt’s content.

I mean, newspapers used to make all their money on classified ads which is why Craigslist has killed so much local news and Craig Newmark is now donating money to save journalism.

Pay-per-word classified ads drove sellers to websites that offered better reach for less money.
