	Like most newspapers, the ''Folktown Records'' is supported entirely by advertising, and actually loses more money the more papers it sells, since papers are sold well below cost. Though it might seem reasonable on the basis of these facts not to sell any copies at all, this would obviously lead to the immediate loss of advertising revenue, so it cannot be done.

 The term ''[[agony uncle]]'' is often applied to the employees of the ''Folktown Records''.  All scholars who have discussed the point agree that the term is sometimes derogatory, but they disagree sharply on whether the term is becoming more or less derogatory and in whose usage.  The most appropriate policy is probably to avoid the term altogether, unless one actually works there.
