Newest Newspaper Ad Network Attempt Raises Same Old Questions - ClickZ

The newspaper industry is starting to look like the boy who cried "network." In the latest addition to a string of ad network related reports over the past couple years, Gannett Co., Hearst Corporation, Tribune Company, and The New York Times Company have launched a network dubbed quadrantOne. The goal, as it always has been, is to grab more national ad dollars from large brands.
