Ads ‘n’ Ends From the Sunday Dailies

September 1, 2014

Lots of adtivity in the Boston dailies yesterday, in spite of Labor Day weekend.

From our Why Does Shaw’s Hate the Boston Herald desk

Throughout the Demoulas Slapfight/Market Basket Rumpus, the other New England supermarket chains have been wisely buckraking in silence, letting their cash registers do the talking for them.

But now that Artie T. is back in the saddle, it’s time for rival chains to consolidate their ill-gotten gains.

Thus, the Boston Sunday Globe, Page 3.

Oh, nuts! postscript: The Shaw’s ad did not run in the Sunday Boston Herald. Big surprise.

Yesterday’s Globe also featured this ad:

Question #1: Who even knew there was a Democratic primary race in the Massachusetts 5th Congressional district?

(Answer: Katherine Clark and Dr. Sheldon Schwartz.)

Question #2: Who actually saw this ad, besides the hardreading staff?

(Answer: Katherine Clark and Dr. Sheldon Schwartz.)

Next question . . .

 

From our Does Anyone at the Herald Talk to Each Other? desk

So the hardreading staff betook ourselves to the porch yesterday morning (as is our wont of a Sunday) to read the feisty local tabloid, and here’s what we saw on Page 8.

Hey, Heraldniks – we’ve talked about this before. Do you know what you’re webcasting or not? ‘Cause no one else does either.

The writing was on the wall-to-wall promotion earlier this month. Royle had the stage on January 17 with her column in the print edition.

But Chris Villani took center stage two days later.

And now Villani has the 3 pm-6 pm timeslot that no one listens to.

(Who the hell is Chris Villani? See here.)

Meanwhile, @Jen_Royle is roiling the Twitterverse.

More to come, obviously.
