I wish there was a way to see how many people actually click on those ads intentionally (I'm betting most are accidental). And your point about publishing pictures of wanted persons is spot on, it should not be a business decision. Even if it has to be a business decision, the Advocate could take credit if a suspect is found when someone saw a photo on their website. while I sympathize with online newspapers requiring more ads to pay the bills, I agree that the hospital ad is obnoxious, and the ‘close’ box is hidden way up by the search box.
