Serving community since 1973 FREE City ad policy concerns us BY SUSAN JERMYN A new advertising policy to be discussed by the city's corporate services committee June 18 has not-for-profit community news- papers concerned. Observers believe the new policy will favour profit-making community papers. The city's previous policy di- rected ads of community interest to non-profit papers defined as free publications of at least eight tabloid pages serving households in a specific geographic commu- nity or a specific ethnic or lan- guage group. There was also a category for a profit-making community newspaper.
