october 1, 2015 12:20 pm
Philadelphia City Paper has been acquired by Broad Street Media, which announced that it will cease printing the 34-year-old alt-weekly and will merge its web operations with
Philadelphia Weekly:
“Several of the partners of Broad Street Media are also partners in R.P.M. Philly, which owns Philly Weekly and South Philly Review,” said Perry Corsetti, publisher with Broad Street Media. “While we respect the history Philadelphia has with City Paper, we have made a commitment to Philly Weekly that we intend to honor. It doesn’t make sense for us to compete with ourselves.”
City Paper will officially cease publication on October 8.
