Rock 92 and a "ratings strategy"
DJ Chris Kelly on Rock 92 invited media outlets to bid to be the exclusive publishers of photos of his new baby, in that way that celebrities do. While he specifically called out the News & Record -- well, he also mentioned Auto Trader and the Thrifty Nickel -- he said his preference was Yes! Weekly because of the suck-up coverage the tabloid did on the station's recent Bubbalympics.
Fair enough.
Should we bid? The baby is due this fall so the photos may be a welcome break from the diet of boring political coverage. On the other hand, some people may accuse us of pandering. Or worse.
This is new territory for us, so I solicit the advice of you, dear readers.
Update: One in-house wag suggests we go for photos of Rosemary Plybon 's twins. Way more followers of the WFMY morning show announcer.

Chris Kelly needs the money for his beach house in Myrtle Beach. It would be funny to do this , bid.

I've recommended my employer up the ante and bid for the baby itself.
