COMMENTS: Newspaper Readership in Fort Lauderdale
Broward County in Florida is one of the few places where newspapers still find readership. NBC's Mark Potter showed us why--"all the ads for pain clinics on page after page after page." Prescription dispensing laws are so lax that many clinics "only take cash and prescribe thousands of highly addictive and potentially lethal narcotic painkillers a day with only a cursory doctor's exam." The clinics create a secondary black market for street sales of the pills. Potter reported that out-of-state pillpoppers flock to Broward to score from its 100-or-so clinics, hence the demand for newspapers to find their addresses. He did not explain what is wrong with Craigslist.
