Some alternative weekly publishers tell
AJR they have cut back on ads
from adult advertisers because
raunchy ads scare away traditional
advertisers. Others, like the Memphis
Flyer, insist on tops for their advertisers'
topless dancers. Alison Draper,
publisher of the Dallas Observer, says
she just wants to "clean up the book"
to attract higher-end advertisers.
Others are taking the same steps,
breaking with a traditionally significant
sector of alt-weekly advertising.
