I happened to pick up the Sunday Hartford Courant yesterday. I wanted to check out the classifeds. Unfortunately for me it took 10 minutes to find them. They were buried in between two pages of car dealer ads and when i did come across them I was stunned to see 5 measly columns of employment classifieds. There were just over 60 ads (about 5 of which were jobs @ The Courant). I scanned part of it which you can see below.

If I was an employer from one of those 60+ ads I'd be pissed. Why pay a couple hundred bucks to have my job buried in the bowels of the sunday paper? Another annoying aspect was the readability of these ads. Its liking reading the fine print. Ugh. I think its safe to say the sunday classifieds are officially dead.
