Advance joins Louisiana newspaper battle

When a Baton Rouge paper stepped into the newspaper void in New Orleans I guess the Newhouse family decided that they would join the battle and open a bureau in Baton Rouge.

What's that old saying about throwing good money after bad?

    The Baton Rouge Advocate
    New Orleans Edition
    (We're not the Times-Picayune!)

    That should cover the marketing effort! :)

    I hope the Advocate kicks ass down there.. Too bad the Oakland Press couldn't have done the same thing here.. If I were a carrier down in the NO area I'd be selling both papers.
