Are the hotels actually paying for the papers?
*************************************************
In the case of Orlando FL ,, the answer is NO ,, the Orlando Sentinel (Slantinel) used to supply papers free to the hotels to boost their circuation numbers and therefore ad rates .. advertisers objected because tourists don’t shop at the local stores that were buying the advertising,,, the Sentinel stopped giving papers away to the hotels a year ago but they still deliver free to the hospitals since the patients are a local audience.
I realized that hospitals also got the papers.
It’s interesting to see how that plays out in the overall scheme though.
