Dear LL: Maybe you’re onto something there…. a revolution?

I stand corrected by the editor, but wonder if this isn’t semantics? There are no subscriptions to a newspaper because there is no newspaper – it stopped publishing in May. Neither is there a Tucson Citizen news Web site, as pointed out by Kate Marymont of Gannett, who said over and over when announcing Gannett’s decision to halt the printed paper, that what Gannett was going to keep running in Tucson was “not a newspaper Web site.” Either way, there are no subscriptions to be sold and its exceedingly odd that TNI is running ads that mention subscriptions to a NEWSPAPER that hasn’t existed for more than two months.

The Tucson Citizen is not “closed.” It stopped publishing a newspaper May 15. Nevertheless, there are no subscriptions to sell.
Some house ads never die.

You do realize that is a boiler room, right? For those that do not know, a boiler room is where all those telemarketers you wish would find real jobs work. They’re called boiler rooms because that is where this typically less-than-honest “profession” got its start.

Dear Renee: Go ahead and start selling subscriptions. We can use the income! After you have the cash in hand, advise our customers they’ll be subscribed to a special VIP edition of the (otherwise free) TucsonCitizen.com : )
