WSB TV News Selling Newspapers

M

Mr11WXIA

Have you no shame WSB? Having Justin Farmer holding up a copy of tomorrow's AJC and telling people to pick up their copy really crosses the line into a news/infomercial. The newspaper looks so awful with its more narrow width format it's hardly worth getting it as a souvenir.
 
It's called cross selling. Comcast/Xfinity do it with NBC all the time now.

I am waiting for WSB anchors to stand out on the street corners with the Sunday AJC!!
 
Considering the notoriety of Osama's death, they practically don't need a "commercial" of any sort to sell papers -- in the Tampa Bay area, both the St. Pete Times and the Tampa Tribune, as well a the Wall Street Journal and the New York papers, were sold out everywhere; only USA Today had copies available, and that's because they went to press before Osama's death was announced. Unless you were lucky, the only way you could get a paper is if you subscribed to it.
