No, some advertising type became publisher, and his idea is to merge
editorial and advertising. So if they're doing a story on a health, sign up
the local hospitals and clinics nearby to put ads next to it.

Guess what that story won't say?

Papers go in cycles. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch just made a decision to
become a quality paper again, with emphasis on photojournalism, so I'm
told. That will be a change for the better.
