i don’t want them to implement ads i want them to let publishers design and sell ads to local businesses. It’d be a post option no different then embedding an instagram partnered ad. they said they wanted to help local journalism well local newspapers provided a service to community businesses for which the businesses supported the paper. That link has to be restored somehow. Regardless they can’t stop it they’ll just make it more difficult and they won’t get their ten percent service fee. - I can make an ad and insert it as a photo. - i can make an ad via instagram post or IG market and embed it. - I could get cringe and sell a sponsored post.
i just think the independent true to form method would be to give the publisher the tools to design and sell bespoke ads to local businesses. That same functionality could then be used to bridge out into the other parts of the local paper that made the business viable: the BEST OF list....the Summer Festival program...the voters guide...etc. Ppl who lived in areas long serviced by popular weekly newspapers miss all of this shit. Plus if i make the add i know it will match the style sheet, voice and vibe of my publication it will look good and benefit everyone. No one in my town is gonna be disgusted if the mexican restaurant wants to support the paper. they just aren’t.
