New York City's Our Town, for example, goes to 121,000 well-to-do readers at all the best addresses in a 2.8-sq.-mi. area of Manhattan's Upper East Side. Thin on news content and partial to causes like raising funds for homeless pets, Our Town earned estimated revenues of $1 million last year and profits of about...
