NYT Sells First Front-Page Ads

The New York Times began selling front-page display ads, a first for the paper. CBS placed the ad this morning, which runs along the bottom in color, about two inches high.

The paper has sold small-classified liners on the front page prior to this move, but decided to sell display ads in such a desirable position because of declining advertising revenue.

The New York Times Richard Perez-Pena reports the paper will only sell
front-page ads below the fold.
