Yes. Do you know how commercial printing works? The newspaper is not targeting individuals.

They could be if they wanted to. My address is printed on the cover of some of my magazines - so the capability of person-specific printing exists it's just a matter of extending this to the ads too.

Realistically, I wouldn't expect targeting more granular than a zip code. But that's still pretty decent as far as advertisement targeting goes. Definitely better than broadcast radio, as one example.

Lol, you got me, they can put a sticker on magazines, so there's no difference between print and online advertising.
