Peter, excellent post.

I advised a consultant supporting this rollout. Discussed adding a classifieds/Craigs layer across the whole network of indep sites…search local classifieds anywhere thru a single search interface in your locale. If I recall, they hard-bundle online with print now…blur the lines to hedge against possible print readership declines.

Thanks for the careful reading Dave. I have corrected it in the post.

I am pretty sure there are only three print Examiners. (See advertising info here: http://www.examiner.com/advertise/mediakit/)

As a former employee back when they had no Internet strategery, it has been interesting to see it fill out.
