Why is this paper small? Why is this paper so small and last week's big? Well, HI tell you. It's advertising. Each week, the Heppner Gazette - Times wrestles with itself, trying to find room for all the news that takes place in the area. If the editorial staff here had the space, we would be covering Irrigon and Boardman like a blanket, the way we try and cover this Heppner lone area. But advertising dictates to us. Most small community weeklies, like Heppner, try to maintain a 55 per cent advertising to news ratio. Some larger weeklies try a 60 40 route. Most dailies work on a 70 per cent advertising to 30 per cent news hole. Because this paper is the county newspaper and we are trying to cover a wide area of people and places, we try to keep that 55 per cent. That way, we can keep our doors open too. ' The Gazette-Times is happy that advertisers are using the Gazette-Times for their businesses and products. We hope that others may follow suit. The more advertising we get, the more support. And the more support, the bigger the paper. In cur case, the bigger the paper, the better. We're simply trying to put out a product for you, the people of Morrow County. And we ap preciate your continued support. Keep it up and we will too. wep Editor: I canmrt understand mhy you art mi printing Uvt Irrigon rtr Urn! is In Morrow County and the C !!
