Too bad they couldn’t wait until April 1 to release this.
I bet the 13 people who go to magazine websites and print things out from said web sites will be thrilled about this.
Does this mean that Hearst will present a more aggressive rate card for those ads because technically they’re “print ads”? (I kid… Sort of.)
