For sale: homepage

Some newspapers make you look at ads before you see some particular content, but Gannett's Wisconsin newspapers are going a step further and making you look at an ad before you even get to the homepage.

Some would question the ethics of this.

I would question the strategy behind it. It may make sense in the short-term to monetize Web traffic this way, but there's a big risk of turning eyeballs away by making them look at this first (or making them clip to skip it).
