The new restrictions on adult ads on Craigslist could save alt-weekly newspapers, Andrew Beaujon of the Washington City Paper (an alt-weekly) reported on June 2, 2009:

"Last year Craigslist, which lists 18 employees on its “about us” page, made somewhere between $20 and $80 million dollars. So why is its CEO, Jim Buckmaster, so p.o.’d about sex ads in alt-weeklies?

Because these bottom-feeding free publications are making an erotic comeback in the classifieds biz, with an assist from law enforcement."

Beaujon added:

"Here at Washington City Paper, where few ad categories in recent memory have been the stuff of legend, adult ads in the first week of May were up 38 percent over the same time last year, says Heather McAndrews, the company’s classifieds manager. Mark Bartel, the publisher of Minneapolis’ City Pages, says adult ads there have “almost doubled.” SF Weekly ran 160 adult ads the week before Craigslist’s new standards dropped; last week, it had 910."
