Spectator Ceases Publication
According to an article on AVN (Adult Video News) Online, the San Francisco-based adult tabloid closed largely because of "growing competition for sexual advertising from several local freebie papers such as the Bay Guardian, SF Weekly and the East Bay Express, as well as similar ads on the Internet." Spectator originally formed as an offshoot of the Berkeley Barb, an underground newspaper founded in 1967. Needless to say, this link may be NSFW.

Weekly Paper for College Students Faces Obstacles in Columbus
In September, two media entrepreneurs launched U Weekly, an arts and entertainment paper for students at Ohio State University. As reported in the New York Times, U Weekly has faced resistance from university officials and from Ohio State's traditional, student-run newspaper, The Lantern. The Lantern's faculty advisor comes off as savvy, however, remarking that "competition in journalism is good because it raises the bar and gets folks thinking about how to differentiate publications from others."
U Weekly's owners have successfully launched college weeklies in Baton Rouge, La., and Lexington, Ky., but Columbus already has two alternative weeklies with entertainment coverage: The Other Paper and Columbus Alive.

Tampa's Weekly Planet Deals With Circulation Problemsnew
In a story published Saturday, the alt-weekly and its parent company, Creative Loafing, Inc., announced that return figures had been inaccurate, possibly for years, under former Circulation Director Zarko Bajsanski. The paper has taken steps to correct the problem, including firing Bajsanski and at least one driver. "I feel like I'm a victim in this as well," says publisher Amber Abram. Bajsanski blames the drivers for providing inaccurate return sheets. The Weekly Planet has also dropped its print run from 95,000 to 85,000 copies and eliminated financial incentives for drivers to keep returns low. Advertising materials have not been changed, and the paper's management expects an upcoming Media Audit report to be consistent with the quality of readership figures provided to advertisers.
