. Contrary to popular conceptions, print or newspaper classified or display advertising is still way ahead of advertising in new media such as internet and mobile. A major reason behind the popularity of classified advertising can be credited to newspaper booking agents. These booking agents formed the bridge between newspaper publication houses and potential classified / display ad bookers. Traditionally these agents were local mom-and-pop stores, for whom accepting classifieds served as supplemental income. With the advent of the Internet, there has been an emergence of online classified booking agents - which accept newspaper ad bookings from the internet which are eventually published in print. These have served as an efficient bridge between this online-offline divide existing among the Indian poppulation. A leading service which first addressed this issue was started in India by releaseMyAd.
