The dust has settled, and it’s not great news. I lost $2,500
in ad revenue this spring due to circumstances beyond my control. And, it was
confirmed Black Press is billing me for printing.
First, I had to tell Black Press (note: I’ve been their
customer for YEARS), for the UMPTEENTH time since this situation began in
April, The Chautauqua is NOT a 16 page colour weekly, because they are VERY
determined it is (WHY?!), and INSIST I have to pay for that!
I pointed out The Chautauqua is 8 pages, B&W, published
twice a month, AND I sent them the quote I receive from the
The final price is now higher than the quoted price, and
$500/month more than I was paying the
10 years without changing my ad rates, I now must
raise them (see below). And I encourage, as many readers as possible to
please donate a minimum of $23 in honour of the 23 years I’ve been in
publication. That’s less than a $1/issue for a year. Receipts available on
request. Thank you for your continued support.
