It was a great job, but lacked the challenge and rewards of sales. Married, wife Mary. At first I was not very sure if working in newspapers was going to be right for me. I grew up in a different culture, one where newspapers are seen as a medium for political and news but not as an advertising medium. There is no such thing as a daily subscriber.
People read the paper.
They bought it at the corner kiosk or from the street vendors. The newspaper did not sell display ad space as it is done here. Typically ads were created and sold by ad agencies. I remember the first time I went to visit my relatives in Venezuela. I was doing for a living.
