| What CASR's clients say:
R. Jack Fishman, president and CEO of Lakeway Publishers "We grew revenues while many others were contracting," Fishman said. "We think we would have suffered 15-20% decline (in advertising revenues) without it (the CASR research). Instead some of our papers gained, and others lost just 3-4%" (compared to 12-15% for community papers and 18-25% for metro papers)." READ MORE
