WFP’s new owners have turned off all advertising, and will trial a twist on the revenue model of US mugshot websites.
WFP is auctioning off the discrete removal of one Police Press Release from our entire Free Press Network and archive via private Ebay Auction.
This includes any Police Press Release in the archive, no matter the crime. The Free Press Network consists of WinghamFreePress, BlythFreePress, OntarioFreePress, ListowelFreePress, GoderichFreePress, etc representing approximately 100,000 homes/month.
While some readers may be disappointed that one person can now pay to improve their reputation, this is necessary to generate revenue to keep the remainder of the archive online. Extremely low click rates on ads have made this change imperative to keep the WFP Police Press Release Archive viable.
