OPA members are asked to donate a quarter-page space for the foundation’s use once per quarter in 2010. ONF will turn that space over to Oklahoma Press Service to sell as a one-time special for advertisers who are not currently publishing in newspapers and are not running for political office or involved in political campaigns. <br />
“This is a win-win solution for our newspapers, for ONF, for OPS and for the new clients this will attract,” said Wayne Trotter, publisher of The Countywide &amp; Sun and ONF trustee. <br />
