From 1 January 2008, the national sales division of Avusa (formerly Johncom) will be managing the advertising sales portfolio of its Eastern Cape titles such as The Herald, Daily Dispatch and Weekend Post, which were previously serviced by the Newspaper Advertising Bureau (NAB). The division will also handle the negotiation of new contracts, as well as provision of rates. However, NAB will continue to service the community titles Algoa Sun, Our Times, Agri and Ilizwi.
