AD2AD KATRINA

The Association of Alternative Newsweeklies announced that the AD2AD Network would provide a special free classified ads system for newspapers in communities where Katrina victims have settled. The article explains how newspapers can use this service to their advantage:

"With this system, called AD2AD KATRINA, newspapers can easily provide a free web classifieds page in their websites to support community response to the Katrina disaster. Newspapers then have the option of printing the ads, using the systems fully formatted ad files. An example of the AD2AD KATRINA system at work can be seen on the website of the Jackson (MS) Free Press: http://www.jacksonfreepress.com/katrina_ads.php

'As more communities across the country open hearts and homes to the victims of Katrina, the need for specialized emergency information becomes critical. AD2AD recognizes the importance of the local newspaper as the information hub of its community. A Help Wanted ad takes on a whole new meaning in the face of this disaster. AD2AD wants to do its part -- AD2AD KATRINA is one of the ways we can help,' said AD2AD CEO Jay Schauer."
