NY Times to share its classified ads with 'rival'

The New York Times has agreed to share its classified advertising with a "rival", the giveaway title Metro. The deal means that Metro will carry the Times's classified ads in the recruitment, real estate, automotive and general merchandise categories. It's obviously due to the problem America's metropolitan newspapers are facing as their classified ads dribble away to free web alternatives such as Craigslist. (Via NYT > Media and Advertising)
