Is Salt Lake City Weekly's John Saltas Replaceable?
"Over the years I paid plenty of people plenty of money to do nothing around here, and I don't want to become one of them," says Salt Lake City Weekly's owner, John Saltas, in his July 27 column. Saltas is explaining why he hasn't quit writing for the Weekly even though he's too old. "Writing for a newspaper like this one -- a newspaper with a youngish readership and embedded in a community with one of America’s youngest demographics -- should be, in my opinion, a task left to those who share the basic reference points with that readership," Saltas says. His solution: to hold a "Replace John Contest," in which readers are invited to write Saltas' column for him. Saltas isn't claiming that he will step down permanently, but the winner will be published at least once and will take home a cash prize.

Phoenix Media/Communications Restructures, Names New Boston Editornew
Bill Jensen (pictured) will take the reins at the Boston Phoenix as part of its parent company's effort to assemble a staff with the right "mix of experience and youth," the Boston Globe reports this morning. Jensen was hired as the Phoenix's associate editor last year. His predecessor, Peter Kadzis, says "Bill is the hip, happening guy" who will focus in part on pop culture. Kadzis had been editor for 16 years; he now will become executive editor for Phoenix Media, which owns a radio station and a mobile marketing firm in addition to the Phoenix weeklies in Boston, Portland (Maine) and Providence (R.I.). The company's multiple operations and ability to strategize marketing across platforms may be the key to its survival in the future, Vice President Brad Mindich tells the Globe.

Austin Chronicle Enters 25th Year 'Still Weekly, Free, and a Little Stunned'new
The founding staff expected to stay with the Chronicle about a year, according to Editor Louis Black's note in the July 21 issue. The paper has come a long way since those early days when advertising was traded for food. Now, Black says, he has "minimal control, much less of any kind of a plan" for the Chronicle, but one focus is new interactive features on its Web site -- "just as interactivity becomes completely commonplace, with even preteens offering such on their sites." Among other changes, readers will be able to post to the Chronicle's Web site without registering. "In a way, that is why we've produced and continue to produce this paper: open dialogue as hope, discussion as information, action as resistance," Black says.
