newspapers: Are you hearing that buyers/sellers are reacting to bad news on TV and in papers? - 06/02/08 05:52 PM
Finally the Sacramento Bee is reporting the good news - not just the bad news! For some time, I felt that the Sacramento Union (for which I write) was the only voice giving a balanced picture. Unfortunately, when the newspapers and TV news reporters talk about only the doom and gloom

newspapers: Reading the newspaper each morning is one of my greatest pleasures. - 02/26/08 04:36 PM
This blog is because of Gary Woltal's blog about advertising and whether to do print advertising anymore or just stick with the internet. It made me do a little thinking. Thanks, Gary, for making me think. : ) I'm lost without my newspaper every morning and I don't think I'm alone in feeling this way. I stumble out

The plight of newspapers has been well documented: the bad news (declining print circulation; higher newsprint and ink costs; declining local and national advertising revenue; job cuts) has only been partially offset by the good news (burgeoning online businesses).

After watching the interview Trulia conducted with the CEO of Funda, it got me thinking about why newspaper classifieds are still a major part of a real estate agents marketing efforts. Why?
