And we no longer support those businesses. It's time to force a change.
Please post here a list of companies that have static ads with the CL. And for those of us who are serious about this, we will no longer support those businesses. It's time to quit bitching about it and do something about it. Our 3 million hits a month on this site should help raise awareness.
What did they write about us today? I refuse to read the rag.Quote:

I like this idea. I saw the light months ago and haven't missed the CL one damn bit.
Cannon Motorz, City Grocery, and Square Books ***
We're going to try to hurt companies because they buy ad space in a paper that wrote, "Mississippi State wins SEC with win, A&M loss"?

The other thing is, at least for the time being, there'll be a lot of hits to the JCL from people on this page looking to see who advertises with them. That's a necessary evil however.
Yea that's what I predicted the headline would be. Figures. I have not been on the anti cl rant like many in here, but I'm leaning that way nowQuote:

Digital media isn't the same as print. Static ads are the target here. Digital media could be coming from group put chasing that just ends up on the CL. If it's a local company it's likely a direct purchase through CL however.
Is this the main story. Meaning this is C-1. Is there another story above the fold with a picture of the game?Quote:

BUT For this to work someone has to copy down the advertisers in the print edition.
If you for some reason have a digital subscription you can view the digital edition.
If you are going to Boycott a business you need to make sure you mention why you won't do business with them anymore.
Hell show them a copy of this article... That says enough. THAT HEADLINE WAS WRITTEN BY AN EDITOR. More than likely hugh kellenberger
What the CL needs is competition. I would love to see someone start a completely online "newspaper" to cover all of the State of MS, in a professional way. Paper newspapers are going out of business all over the country. You would think that with the number of MSU and USM fans in the state, it could be successful.
If someone makes a list. One of us will post a sticky thread but yall can discuss whatever about the companies and the CL in this thread.
What? You mean something like AL.Com. which most people will tell you covers the Alabama schools pretty evenly.Quote:
