[Avodah] shtarei hedyotot

[Rich, Joel]

On the topic of shtarei hedyotot, I wonder why the reading of newspaper advertisements on Shabbat is rarely addressed. If there is no general heter, is this just a case of mutav sheyihiyu shoggegin?(I'm thinking specifically of all the weekly divrei torah publications) My suspicion(and that's all it is so I am really wondering if anyone has clarified this) is that like a number of gzeirot that according to the algorithm should not be able to be undone, common practice has recognized the reality that perhaps their application today is less clear?  Any insights into current rabbinic thinking would be very much appreciated.
