hanab,
These newspaper people are all about money. Why is the paper for free? To tell advertisers that they have a large subscription, so that they can charge more for advertisements.
It seems to me that you must constantly go after their money sources, their advertisers, until they (publishers and advertisers) get they point. Otherwise, they (publishers and advertisers) don’t care.
Being that you are in real yeshivish community, see if you can get some rabbanim on your side. I think that will make a bigger statement.
