Eric Broder, managing editor at
the Cleveland Free Times, which
turns 10 this week, remembers a
time when the paper could hardly fill ad
space. "The issue is 24 pages,
consisting mainly of editorial. You don't
want that. You want ads in there, and
plenty of 'em. But this was the first issue.
It's tough enough to sell ad space for a
publication, and tougher yet for one that
doesn't exist." Broder reflects on the last
decade of a paper that was one
business deal away from never
happening.
