New York Press has announced that it will no longer accept “explicit” advertising, which had been a mainstay of the publication for years. Washington papers, large and small, also count on such ads to bring in revenues in the millions of dollars range each year.

One in-the-know media observer told us this afternoon that the City Paper has already seen pressure to “cut down on the raciness” with its recent sale to Creative Loafing. Stay tuned.
