Alt-Weekly Cartoonist Releases New Book
Earlier this month, syndicated cartoonist Lloyd Dangle released his latest collection of "Troubletown" comic strips, Troubletown Told You So: Comics That Could've Saved Us From This Mess. With an introduction by the Stranger's Dan Savage, the book "captures the current situation in America, a moment in time that will go down in history as our country's most boneheaded," Dangle says in a statement. "Crude comics full of insults and nasty takedowns are the only fitting way to explain it." First published in the San Francisco Bay Guardian in 1988, "Troubletown" now appears in over a dozen AAN member papers.

Columbia J-School Makes Push to Connect With Alt-Weeklies
Sponsored post by Associate Member Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism
Career services coordinator Gina Boubion will attend this year's convention to talk to prospective students about mid-career programs at Columbia, and to connect with editors who are looking to hire both entry-level and more experienced journalists. "Every year more and more of our students come to Columbia to advance their investigative and narrative skills, and they've definitely gotten the message from us and their professors that the alt-weeklies are fertile ground for doing the kind of journalism they crave to do," Boubion says.

Group of Alt-Weekly Vets to Buy East Bay Express
In a press release issued this afternoon, Village Voice Media says it is selling its Emeryville-based paper to an investment group led by current editor Stephen Buel, AAN veteran Hal Brody, and Express co-founder Kelly Vance. Monterey County Weekly founder and CEO Bradley Zeve is also one of the investors. Brody, who owned Pitch Weekly in Kansas City until he sold it to New Times in 1999, will take over as publisher. The Express, which was founded in 1978, has been owned by New Times/VVM since 2001. "It's great that Hal and Steve will be taking over the Express," VVM chief executive officer Jim Larkin says. "They are amazingly talented people who will devote themselves to continuing the paper's excellence." Editing the Express "is the best job I've ever had," Buel says. "It will be an honor to build upon the legacies left by the founders and Village Voice Media."
