Are Cops Overemphasizing Orlando Weekly's Role in Prostitution Sting?new

Orlando's Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation (MBI) tells WFTV-TV they used massage parlor ads in the Orlando alt-weekly to nab Li Ping Ding, a "ringleader" who was "running prostitution out of 10 locations in Central Florida." On the Orlando Weekly's blog, editor Bob Whitby smells something funny: He says the Weekly has been a thorn in the MBI's side for some time, and thinks it may be more than a coincidence that the Bureau included four pages of Weekly ads in the press release for Ding's bust. "Could this be part of the culture of retribution the MBI is so famous for?," Whitby asks.

Drop in Ad Revenue Raises Tough Questions for Newspapersnew

As circulation and revenue from print advertising both continue to drop, many analysts are predicting a major shift over the next decade in how newspapers do business, the Times reports. The one bright spot in the newspaper industry is a jump in online ad spending, but it still accounts for only 5.4 percent of all newspaper ad expenditures, according to the Newspaper Association of America. "This is a time of wrenching change and chaos," a media analyst at Jupiter Research says. "All of our assumptions about newspapers are going to be changed. The format, the business model, the organization of newspapers have outlived their usefulness."
