Globe ad revenue continues to plummet

The Boston Business Journal posts the latest financials from the Times, which includes a 27.2% drop in ad revenue at its New England Media Group, which includes the Globe and the Worcester Telegram and Gazette. And while the Globe may no longer be for sale, the Times is still shopping NESN and its piece of the Red Sox.

The old newspapers I've seen seemed to have lots of ads, maybe more than current day papers.

E.g. the Boston Globe had ads on the front page in the 1800s and even the papers from the 1700s carried ads.
