Abstract

"This Just In" piece reporting that the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram will begin publishing paid advertisements on the front pages of its Business, Outdoors, and Sports sections starting October 1. In recent times, the practice of section-front ads has been considered a violation of the strict division between editorial content and advertising. The Lewiston Sun Journal currently sells ads on its front page, while the Bangor Daily News does not. The trend worries newspaper ethicists who say it signals a shift away from using newspaper profits to pay for improved journalism.
