A Louisiana Journalist, One Year Laternew
"My belief in the importance of impassioned, personal, and informed writing and editing became even more clear after Katrina and Rita unfolded," Editor Scott Jordan writes in the hurricane-anniversary issue of Lafayette, Louisiana's The Independent Weekly. Jordan describes the experiences of local journalists and argues the need for continued coverage of the area by national media (and fellow alt-weeklies). The anniversary issue also includes articles by three former Gambit Weekly writers -- Shala Carlson, Katy Reckdahl and Michael Tisserand.

Willamette Week Films Intern Stealing Bikes, Posts Video on YouTube
Inspired by a popular YouTube video in which a man "steals" his own bicycle in broad daylight to see if anyone will stop him, Willamette Week sent 22-year-old intern Josh Silverman onto the streets of Portland, Ore., to investigate residents' reaction when a man uses bolt cutters to hack through a bike chain. According to Ian Demsky's Aug. 23 cover story, Silverman stole his own bike in public at seven different locations, and the only person who interfered actually helped him operate the bolt cutters. Willamette Week also posted the video below of the "thefts," complete with music and intertitles, on YouTube.

Alt-Weekly Film Critic Was a 'Junket Whore'
Eric D. Snider has been a film critic for nearly 10 years, but he had never attended a press junket until last month, when he went to Seattle to interview the stars of Oliver Stone's World Trade Center. Snider could have basked in the lavish treatment given to writers, but instead he felt embarrassed and guilty, so he decided to expose the entire decadent process -- and the resultant shoddy, fluffy journalism -- on his blog: "[Critics on the junket] are basically being bought by the studio: We'll show you a good time, and then you be our monkey-boys and write lots of nice stories about us!" wrote Snider, whose reviews appear in Salt Lake City Weekly and Willamette Week. The blog post quickly gained attention and was linked from major journalism sites, leading to a strong reaction from Paramount, the studio that hosted the shindig: "I expected not to be invited to any more junkets, which would be fine, because I didn't intend to go on any more. But they took it a step further and banned me from all their press screenings," Snider told Bob Garfield in the Aug. 18 On the Media broadcast.
