Local Display Flat, Real Estate Classifieds Strong in Q1
AAN member papers report that once again classified advertising sales, especially real estate and rental, are keeping overall revenues steady. At the two alternative newsweekly industry national ad sales networks, AWN and Ruxton, sales are running well ahead of last year’s first quarter, but that was one of the worst quarters on record for the industry. “Normally I’d be excited about 20 percent growth,” Michele Laven, president and COO of New Times’ Ruxton Group tells AAN News. “We have a long way to go.”

Alt-Weekly Stalwart Tower Up for Salenew
If you started at the beginning, in
1955, when The Village Voice was
founded, and ranked companies by how
much they spent on advertising in
alternative
newspapers, Tower
Records would probably end up at
the top of the list. After several years of
financial difficulty, the
Sacramento-based chain that
has long been a beacon of pop culture
was recently put on the block. "I expect
that the new owners will keep the values
... we stand for," Russ Solomon,
the company's founder and owner, tells
The Sacramento Bee. "(W)hich is the idea
that, as much as you can afford to, you
represent as many kinds of music, video
and books as you possibly can."
