    The NAA's new standards for classifieds are a big step for publishers, writes NEWSINC. Editor/Publisher David M. Cole in the Jan. 18 issue.

He also talks with the new publisher of the SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER, and asks advertising directors how they are going to swell their revenue streams this year. Also, Correspondent Marion J.
