Extra plug
Newspapers advertise their special strengths to attract readers. But advertise their advertisement content on other media to attract readers? This is now being done by the Daily News and Analysis (DNA) in Mumbai. It sends out text messages drawing attention to an advertisement, directly plugging a client, ending with "...Please call 26xxxxxx or turn to DNA for details".
