Administrative regions ads placed through govt agencies, officials say

The administrative branches of the country’s ten regions have not been instructed to withdraw advertisements from this newspaper, but they take their cue from what they observe happening at the level of central government.
Stabroek News has observed that from the start of the year to the present Region One (Barima/Waini) to Region Nine (Upper Essequibo/Upper Takutu) have placed a total of 38 ads in the Guyana Chronicle; 22 in the Kaieteur News; and eight in the Mirror. None have been placed in the Stabroek News.

This is in keeping with the withdrawal of ads from the Stabroek News by the government in November 2006.
