Conventions Temporary Answer to Newspaper Woes
Here’s a way out of the newspaper slump…throw a political convention! The local papers both here in Denver and in St. Paul, MN are getting a temporary reprieve from the country-wide ad slump due to “lavish” coverage a la the Olympics. According to the WSJ:
The Denver Post is printing an extra 24- to 36-page section every day this week devoted to coverage of political speeches, protests and traffic troubles tied to the Democratic National Convention.The Pioneer Press in St. Paul, which sent just a handful of reporters to the conventions four years ago, is devoting more than 30 staffers to the Republican National Convention, which opens there on Sept. 1.
