San Diego CityBEAT Premieresnew
San Diego CityBEAT published its inaugural issue last Wednesday, and the daily responds, "Bring it on." David L. Coddon writing in The San Diego Union-Tribune's weekly arts and entertainment guide, "Night & Day," says the new alt-weekly is trying to get a jump on both the daily and its 30-year-old alternative newsweekly rival, San Diego Reader, by publishing a day earlier. "Another 'voice' in local print media isn't bad," Coddon says.

SLAMM Reincarnating as San Diego CityBeat
The ink is barely dry on the sale
of SLAMM, a San Diego music biweekly,
but the new owners have set Aug. 21 as
the launch date for a new redesigned
alternative newspaper, San Diego

the 21- to 45-year-old crowd and San
Diego's central university and historic
neighborhoods, Publisher Charles
Gerencser says. "I wouldn't have

house in Los Angeles, where I've lived my
whole life, if I didn't think this was going to
be an amazingly successful
venture," Gerencser says.
