You very likely did. I am not the only one they sent them to, I feel.
Along the same lines, my colleague Mr. Blaney spoke earlier about the government's advertising investments in digital media in 2018-19. Personally, when that news came out last week, it stunned me. I could not believe my ears.
So, I called a friend of mine who is editor-in-chief for a regional weekly, and I asked him whether he had a lot of government-paid advertising and whether it made any difference to him. He told me that he had received $0 in advertising investment from the government. The only advertising investment in those regional weeklies was made by Google Ads and other service providers. In fact, they buy from them what they do not manage to sell.
In short, don't you think that it might be a concrete way to help regional media if you invested directly with them in advertising, rather than creating assistance programs like the ones you need to create to assist them?
