Philly's Proposed Tabloid Sizzle May Sputter Outnew
There's been talk lately that the Philadelphia Daily News plans to launch a free arts and entertainment daily geared toward the young, tentatively titled Sizzle. But some Daily News staffers doubt the new tabloid will ever make it to the streets, Mike Newall reports in Philadelphia City Paper. Cost-cutting by the Daily News's owner, Knight Ridder, has left so many desks empty that the paper's newsroom "resembles an Ikea showroom," Newall reports.

Alt-Weekly Wants Fake Reporters 'Bitch-Slapped'; Kos Agreesnew
In Philadelphia City Paper's March 24 edition, publisher Paul Curci accuses television networks of sacrificing ethics for the sake of the bottom line and decries broadcast media outlets' practice of airing prepackaged video news releases. Daily Kos, a popular politics and culture blog, featured the opinion piece and offered this observation: "Going so far as to demanding his readers question even the very paper that he puts out, Curci examines the fake news segments put out by the government, why they're unacceptable, and why the GAO, ruling that these fake news snippets are legal, [is] unacceptable."
