|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Colorado Springs Gazette's attempt to increase ad sales Landon Finch, Photographer Colorado Springs | CO | USA | Posted: 3:45 PM on 04.22.09 ->> http://www.gazette.com/articles/gazette_52210___article.html/news_small.htm... Summary: create a new publication geared toward a smaller geographic area and make advertising more attractive and affordable to small businesses.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The Orange County Register, the flagship newspaper of Freedom Communications which owns the Colorado Springs Gazette tried something similar to this. It was called the OC Post and it tanked big time...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I grimaced at the publisher's cheerful statement: "This is meant to be a 10-minute publication people can read while they're having a bagel." You know, it never occurred to me how much extra wight I've been lugging around when I get up from breakfast and take my newspaper with me. Thank God there are bright boys like him out there, making sure the attention-challenged public doesn't get overwhelmed by too much information. Next up: Ink 1/2, for those who can't eat a whole bagel. All the ads and even less news, because who really wants to be informed when there are so many other distractions like Twitter, My Space and Facebook?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Most of the news was just re-runs from the Register.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
