Catherine M. Nelson, publisher of Madison's new Core Weekly, tells reporter Judy Newman of the Wisconsin State Journal that she's not going after readers of AAN member Isthmus. But Isthmus publisher Vince O'Hern says it's obvious that the arts-and-entertainment paper backed by Capital Newspapers will try to challenge the 28-year-old weekly.

Political Ads to Flow Online Via 527'snew

Dollars from these tax-exempt issue advocacy and voter mobilization organizations have already begun to trickle toward the 'Net, albeit tentatively. Prominent groups like America Coming Together and The Club for Growth, as well as lesser-knowns such as The Committee for the Advancement of Stem Cell Research, are poised to--or are currently running--Web ad campaigns.
