Triad City Beat; 8.5 pages of ads / 40 total pages = 21.25% ads
Yes Weekly; 10 pages of ads / 40 total pages = 25% ads
Rhino Times; 5.75 pages of ads / 36 total pages = 15.97% ads

Triad City Beat is subsidized by the City of Greensboro, by being housed in the Nussbaum Center, whose loans were forgiven by City Council, but does not yet have City sponsored taxpayer funded Coliseum advertising.

17.39% of Roy Carroll's Rhino Times revenue is subsidized by Greensboro's taxpayers via a weekly Coliseum ad.
10% of Yes Weekly's revenue is subsidized by Greensboro's taxpayers via a weekly Coliseum ad.

BTW, Marty Kotis' billboard is subsidized by Matt Brown's taxpayer funded Coliseum ads as well, so Marty, who makes money from City taxpayers, is about to get a sweet deal on some City owned real estate, voted for by many whose faces have appeared on the same billboard before the election.
Sure it's an unaddressed conflict of interest, but who cares as long as Marty bought the local politicians, including Tony Wilkins, with the same billboard and campaign contributions?
Awesome, isn't it?
One big happy family of nepotist elitist government taxpayer sucking assholes, and their friends in our slanted, crooked, dishonest, unscrupulous, unprincipled and untrustworthy local press.

The Rhino is a money loser by itself, but as an offset to criticism from the rest of the media as Roy Carroll makes bank from Greensboro's taxpayers, it's priceless.

Another BTW, Triad City Beat had the retaliatory vengeance to go after Yes Weekly on industry wide bullshit circulation numbers, but not the courage Roy's Rhino, who has been the clear winner on inflated readership advertising.
Quite the act of cowardice by Brian Cleary, Eric Ginsberg and Jordan Green.
