Ad Space by fisher2470
Ad Space is a game about running a small local newspaper. The newspaper is all about maximizing your use of space. You generate money by placing ads in your paper, but the value of those ads is dependent on the number of subscribers your paper has. To increase subscriptions, you need to keep the quality of the news you report on high. Additionally, it is important to use the limited space you have available for news to report on topics that could be important to the people of Wales.

I didn't really understand why the articles sometimes went red tho, also the game ended with a blank grey screen.
Still really cool, well done! :)
It's so fun to organize the newspaper and see the effect of each story and the impact we have on the community.
I found two very minor issues, on that allowed me to "cheat" and one that is just visual:
* It is possible to place an ad partially outside of the newspaper from the bottom and the game still consider it as valid
* Some numbers could be rounded to 2 decimals

PS: it's not always clear for me why a news is highlighted green sometimes even when I moved it out of the newspaper
