DENVER, CO - The Charlotte Observer, a Knight Ridder newspaper, signed an agreement with Virtual AdTaker for reverse publishing using Virtual AdTaker.s Realty Ad Express. The newspaper plans to launch the application in March 2006. Virtual AdTaker secured a corporate agreement with Knight Ridder in April 2005.

The newspaper will provide training and access for their real estate advertisers to create gallery or showcase style display ads using Realty Ad Express. Part of the Virtual AdTaker suite of products, Realty Ad Express enables realtors to easily build their own display ads on-line, preview and proof the ads, make changes, and submit them to the newspaper on a 24/7 basis as a newsprint ready PDF.
