Nelms Misquoted by MEDIAWEEK

Don Nelms, who owns several Fayetteville car dealerships, says he was misquoted when a reporter from MEDIAWEEK wrote that Nelms was unhappy with the Morning News of Northwest Arkansas’ ad rates. Nelms says he was referring to the Northwest Arkansas Times when he made the comment.

“If they don’t lower their rates, they won’t be in the war,” Nelms told MEDIAWEEK, referring to the Times. Although the price for ads is similar, Nelms notes that the Morning News has more than twice as many subscribers as the Times.

MEDIAWEEK is a national news magazine of the media. It carried the article about the Northwest Arkansas newspaper war in the July 27 issue.

We quoted the MEDIAWEEK article in this column last month, repeating its misquote.
