You think we should vote with our wallets & purses? Start boycotting The Journal News, owned by Gannett? How about also boycotting USAToday & the other NJ papers, owned by Gannett?

 

Without readership, their advertisers would flee.

When you stay at any hotel/motel, demand that they get rid of USAToday.

I doubt if many people subscribe to those papers in the first place. It's their dwindling readership that is encouraging them to voice such a strong opinion. I think they don't mind showing their anti-gun sides because so much of NJ is anti gun. They're trying to appeal to the readership. I don't think it matters though, boycott or not they no longer have a valid business model.

I haven't purchased a newspaper in over a decade. The 'net has supplanted dead tree media.

Truth is, printed news is on it's way out anyway. Whether or not gun owners boycott them is likely irrelevant.

Yep. Contacting politicians is the only recourse we have left, I believe.

I've got a better idea. Instead of boycotting the newspapers (that's a good idea already) boycott the advertisers.

 

As an example, I know that Boscovs (local retailer) advertises a lot in the Asbury Park Press (wife buys if for the coupons). I'm going to send a note to them (boscovs) letting them know my displeasure that I'm a gun owner who's unhappy that they are supporting a company (Asbury Park Press) who feels its OK to publish lists of gun owners.
