That way, the contributers are actually "riding along" while still sitting behind their computers in addition to buying the papers for the distributers.

The distributers are some real hard-working heros, but they are throwing papers that they as well as other people buy. They ought to get some gas money and a dinner for their efforts at least. They deserve it.
Good idea. All it needs is a tabloid clerk to impliment. I'm the x-tabloid clerk. We need a young, energetic, hard-charging one to take charge now.

Some printers out there will ship papers directly to distributors, via FED-X, which is a cheaper way to ship than media mail. This means that the tabloid clerk doesn't have to get involved in hauling, boxing, or shipping papers. Instead, he emails addresses of distributors to the printer and number of copies to be shipped. Everything can be accomplished from a computer. The tabloid clerk never even needs to see, or be seen, by the printer.

So, who wants the job ??
