So the Austin daily finally figured it out and put an advertisement on the front page of the paper version. Good for them, I say. That’s realism of the realistic kind, even if it is below the fold. Moving it up would be better, make it worth more if it could be seen in the rack.
Course the usual crew of journalism purists–most of them, ahem, former employees–are bellyaching about it. Oh the shame, the horror. Their "calling" has been sullied. As if. Makes me laugh.
