PRWeek: Village Voice's Fate Could Impact All Alt-Weekliesnew
"Have alternative papers jumped the alternative shark?" asks Hamilton Nolan. He decides that they haven't, at least not yet, since alt-weeklies continue to offer investigative journalism not available in most blogs. L.A. Weekly's Nikki Finke tells Nolan, "We go where mainstream papers fear to tread, we unearth what mainstream newspapers try to hide, and, in my case especially, we insult who mainstream newspapers fear to offend. ... How can there ever be a diminishing role for that?" However, Nolan also believes that the Village Voice is "the keystone brand in the entire alt-weekly world," and argues that "its future, and that of [Village Voice Media] as a whole, will play a large part in determining whether another generation will read alternative papers or read about them in memoirs."

Publisher Terry Coe Leaves Seattle Weekly to Join Creative Loafingnew
Creative Loafing Media CEO Ben Eason (pictured) has tapped Coe to become the Atlanta paper's fourth publisher in less than three years, according to a story on its Web site. The last publisher, Michael Sigman, only lasted 10 days. Coe worked for New Times, Inc., for 17 years and Village Voice Media for three years before the two companies merged last October. "I felt like the opportunities for me in Atlanta were going to be greater than they might be in this combined, larger company," he says. Coe will be focusing on building revenue and expanding the weekly's online presence; editorial content "is best left to the editors," he says. Eason has also hired a new associate publisher for the newspaper: David Schmall, formerly of Sacramento News & Review, Minneapolis's the Rake and the Dallas Morning News' free commuter daily, Quick.
