A Tribute to Steve Mossnew
The publisher and co-founder of San Luis Obispo New Times was found dead at his home on Sunday morning, perhaps a victim of his ongoing battle with epilepsy. This week's issue features remembrances from colleagues and friends. Former managing editor Marla J. Pugh says, "The essence of New Times was -- and I hope always will be -- Steve Moss. His extreme personality lives on in the paper he created." Glen Starkey, a New Times writer, offers: "Steve was a maverick. He was a leader. He was a friend. He was the best of us, and we'll miss him."

Reaction to Stranger Article Has Microsoft Reeling, Rethinkingnew
"Microsoft Caves on Gay Rights," published in the April 21 edition of the Seattle alt-weekly, accused the software giant of withdrawing its support for an anti-gay-discrimination bill in response to pressure from an evangelical Christian pastor. The New York Times followed the next day with front-page coverage of the story, and since then hundreds of publications around the globe have picked up The Stranger's scoop. Advocates of the legislation reacted with outrage -- vocally enough that Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates told the Seattle Times yesterday that the company might reconsider its stance toward such legislation.

Jupiter Exec Encourages "Local Papers" to Invest in Web Sites to Steal Alt-Weekly Market Share
Internet marketing research firm Jupiter Research issued a report today that it says "reveals growing preference for online news at the expense of TV and newspapers." In a note commenting on his company's report, Jupiter VP and Senior Analyst David Card tells Poynter Online: "I think the interpretation of this data could be pretty positive for local papers. I'd recommend, for instance, that a local paper invest modestly in its online local entertainment coverage as a way to steal young adult market share from TV or the local alternative paper. It's probably more cost effective than launching a free tabloid." When Card says "local papers," we think he means "daily papers." Read the Poynter column here.
