Capital New York

The Queens Chronicle has vowed to keep an eye on The Queens Tribune, which has a side business printing literature for politicians who are, frequently, covered in the pages of their newspaper. The name of that side business is Multi-Media.

Grace Meng, the assemblywoman and congressional candidate, hired Multi-Media, and has suffered some criticism for it already. Now, after Meng and a supporter called for the passage of the Violence Against Women Act, the Chronicle notes: "The April 26 edition of the Tribune featured 37 such ads, including 23 promoting the use of Asian women."

Full Disclosure: I used to work at the Tribune.
