Rhino Times, Yes Weekly and Triad City Beat Advertisement Efficacy Update for May 27 - June 3

By my count;

Rhino Times - 36 pages, which has usually been at least 40.

7.625 pages of most likely paying merchants.

21% of the Rhino Times = Ad placements.

Greensboro Taxpayers via the Coliseum are paying for about 13% of the Rhino's Ads.
.
.
Yes Weekly - 40 pages, 11 of which are ads

27.5% of Yes Weekly is ads.

Greensboro Taxpayers via the Coliseum are paying for about 9% of Yes Weekly's Ads.
.
.
Triad City Beat - 40 pages, 7 of which are ads

17.5% of Yes Weekly is ads, without compensation from the City of Greensboro.
.
.
Conclusion; Yes Weekly is kicking the Rhino Times' ass, and Triad City Beat is doing pretty darn good for a start up compared to the more than well established Rhino, and/or the Rhino is sucking wind, because John Hammer is Roy Carroll's business/propaganda arm, and more and more Greensboro residents believe the Rhino doesn't put our community's interests before Roy Carroll's.  

Meanwhile, John Hammer has refused to supply the audit which shows the Rhino has 70,000 weekly readers, what the total prints per week are, and how many unread Rhino Times papers are picked up each week.

At the same time, the City of Greensboro doesn't seem to want to know information concerning an advertiser of the Coliseum's effectiveness, which means City executives don't have the courage to demand the information.

Previously;

Has anyone seen the Rhino Times' circulation audit? About 16% of the Rhino's ads are taxpayer funded.

How can the Rhino claim to have 70,000 weekly readers if Roy is only distributing about 17,500 issues per week, many of which don't get read?
