NY Times sells front page ad
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009Yesterday, for the first time in a long time the New York Times ran an ad on the front page. This serves as yet another sign of the News industry’s downturn. CBS Corp. was the Times’ debut front-page advertiser. Its rectangular ad is about 2 1/2 inches high and runs across the entire bottom of the front page. There was no word on the price of the spot, but the Huffington Post reports…”A 2-inch color ad in USA Today _ slightly smaller than the CBS ad Monday in the Times _ costs $65,000 most days and $79,600 on Fridays.” In a letter to the Internet…Newspaper’s all across the country say….”Thank you.”
