  3. Definitely. But in Gannett-land, we'd call it "crowd-sourcing," not cheating.

  10. Sounds like the seller is Gannett, pitching content to Procter & Gamble for their corporate Web sites. Dubow made a super-fleeting mention of that at Brevard and later we were all like "Huh? What did he say? Did he just say we're goign to do advertorials for P&G for extra revenue?"

  11. Do Gannett employees do advertorial work for CareerBuilder sites?
