Why don't they put a couple more covers there, such as sports??? Make it a more lively promo that shows the front page and more. Treat it as a wrapper, with more money making ads on the back! We redesigned our front page and then several months later were asked to incorporate a really awful ad (priced too cheap) on A1. Why wasn't I just told the ad was coming and given the size, so we could try to work the new A1 look we were working up around that? Now we need to change the A1 look again.

Wait until the sticker ad covers up part of the right side of the page. You just throw in the towel on those days. It’s only the beginning Charles.

Both of us also are putting in "ear ads" in addition to the spedia. As much as I hate it. This is the reality of newspapers now. Whatever it take to avoid more layoffs. Sorry. Get used to it.
