We are looking for a reporter/ photographer who can do some bonus for us when I read in the Publisher that we would receive a higher commission than in the past," she said. HSPA newspapers now pocket a larger percentage of revenue from upsales they make into HSPA's display advertising and daily classi fied ad programs. The board of directors re cently doubled commission from 15 percent to 30 percent. The increase means a paper that upsells a daily classified ad into HSPA's network, which runs five times in a week, will now get $177 of the $590 customer fee, said Steve Key, HSPA executive director and general counsel. If a newspaper upsells into HSPA's Power of 2 display ad program, which offers 2x2 and 2x4 ads, it now will get $270 for a 2x2 and $540 for a 2x4, Key said. HSPA's statewide advertis ing programs fund 80 per cent of the association's oper ating budget each year be cause member newspapers donate the ad space.

Newsroom Seminar & Awards Gala Dec. 3, 2011 • Indianapolis Most U.S. press associa tions run similar advertising networks in their states, so HSPA can arrange for ads to run outside of Indiana as well, Key said. Chandler encourages her staff to upsell into the pro grams. "It really isn't hard to sell one of the 2x2 display ads, especially to an organization that is having a festival that can draw people from other areas of the state," she said. "And the increased commis sion gives papers a little more incentive to promote the programs to their adver tisers." September 1, 2011 Times boosts print operations The Times Media Co. is boosting its printing capa bilities with a $2.5 mil lion project designed to en hance its newspaper and make it a Mid west com mercial printing hub. The project will put more Goss HT70 press in Munster and loading them on flatbed trucks. Those units will be refur bished and installed in the company's orange Goss Headliner press, the back bone of the Times' printing operation. When the project is com Bill Masterson Jr. color in the Times newspa per as well as giving busi nesses anywhere an alter native to other printers when it comes to highqual ity advertising inserts and other projects, said Times Publisher Bill Masterson Jr. Cranes have began lifting four 26,000pound printing units from the Times' blue plete in July, the color and printing capability of the Goss Headliner will increase by 50 percent, according to Times Print Operations Manager Ben Brickman. It will also be capable of doing fullcolor wraparound ads. The Goss HT70 press, which will have four print ing towers remaining, will also remain in operation. In the meantime, there will be no interruptions of the Times current printing operations. All projects will be com pleted by July. In addition, the Times is purchasing a new Goss Magnum press capable of printing highquality gro cery and other newspaper advertising inserts. Currently these are done almost exclusively by national print companies in the United States, restrict ing local businesses' choices when it comes to one of their most popular advertis ing options. The Times will be offer ing its insert printing ser vices to parent company Lee Enterprise's 54 daily newspapers across the United States as well as other newspapers, publica tions and businesses. Journalist remembered as diligent By the Fort Wayne News-Sentinal Mike Dooley, a longtime journalist, died Monday, Aug. 29, 2011, at Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne. He was 65. An award winning reporter and "Dooley Noted" col umnist for The News-Senti- nel, he covered Fort Wayne for more than 25 years, including 13 years at the afternoon newspaper, before his retirement in 2006. During his time at The News-Sentinel, he was Mike Dooley known for reporting "what's going down around town" for his column, in which he made observations about local events in an almost gossipy fashion. Dooley covered the court system and city council and was a parttime police beat reporter for The News- Sentinel. Before coming to The News-Sentinel, he was a reporter at the Journal Gazette (Fort Wayne) from 1979 to 1992. State Rep. Win Moses, D3, a former Fort Wayne mayor, said sometimes he felt as if he was the only subject Dooley covered, say ing the reporter was around every day. "He was very diligent. He worked hard to provide thoughtful news for the paper," he said. Moses said that even though he didn't always agree with what Dooley wrote, he knew it was well researched and thorough. During his career, Dooley won several professional awards for his writing. The most recent was for Best Deadline Reporting from the state chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists for his role in covering the August 2004 "Mystery Spill Closes Air port" story, in which a sub stance believed to be glyc erin leaked from a bottle in a piece of luggage.
