New Orleans District Attorney Taps into Web Advertising

"In what appears to be a first-of-its-kind business arrangement with a local government agency, three individuals with close ties to Orleans Parish District Attorney Eddie Jordan have set up an Internet Web site that will share profits from advertising with the prosecutor's office."

The site is called Nolada.com. D.A. Jordan is expecting projected profits of $400,000 from advertising revenues from the operation of this site. [see Times Picayune Story]
