Revenue Continued from Page 1 cost of the ad will pay for its 2012 HSPA dues. If it runs the same size ad for the August, September and October sessions of the market, that's $1,800 in rev- enue from one sale. The Times Post (Pendleton) could more than cover its dues with the revenue from a 2x2 ad sold to promote the nearby Lapel Village Fair on July 14 and 15. Even if the Village Fair budget can afford to run the ad in only one of three zones of the state – for $550 – The Times Post would make $137.50. "Newspapers are already talking to festival promot- ers to purchase ads in the newspaper," Key said. "Why not upsell the festival to a statewide ad that broadens the reach of their advertising dollars?" Unless the local news- paper sells a statewide ad through HSPA, how will anybody outside of Gibson, Starke or Adams counties know about the Owensville Watermelon Festival, Bass Lake Summer Splash Festival or Berne Swiss Days – all happening during the same three-day span in late July? It's simple, Key said. Have your staff sell a Power of 2 display ad to your local fes- tival or tourism bureau, and your paper keeps 25 percent of the revenue. The Power of 2 deadline part of Pandora's local sales strategy to extend its reach into secondary and other markets. The company has 800 local ad campaigns scheduled for 2012 to date.

Scripps' The Ventura County Star; The Salt Lake Tribune; and U-T San Diego. "Partnering with Pandora gives us a com- petitive-edge in growing our digital business, which opens up new reve- nue opportunities," Chris Hendricks, McClatchy vice president of interac- tive media, said in a statement.
