New York Times: Google, which built a lucrative business in online advertising, has found a new medium for its ad sales: print.

The first incarnation of Google’s program resembles an old-fashioned business known as ad brokering, which has largely been shunned by major publishers.
Google said yesterday that the program was a test and declined to elaborate.
