Disturbing trends in newspaper publishing

The Google Maps mashup Papercuts shows 2,185 buyouts/layoffs in the U.S newspaper industry in 2007. In 2008, the number has risen to 13,748. For mashups, the place to go is Programmable Web, and for map mashups in particular, see GoogleMapsMania.

  1. Good information.

    In the present economic situation if you are looking to get your message across to people and advertising your business without spending loads of money, then you can opt for traditional outlets like print advertising agencies. These agencies can offer you classified ad space at special discounts. This is also a great opportunity especially if you are setting up a new business or are tight on your advertising budget.

    When you use a professional ad agency, you tend to receive an early notice of the special offers and prices and also a considerable reduction in the advertising rate for national press. So help your business grow by promoting it in the low priced publications. Use print media to cut your costs and boost your advertising efforts in this growing economic recession.
