Pedmounts on the Horizon in New York City?new
The news rack situation in the Big Apple
may go from bad to worse, according to Matt Taibbi.
The city recently began enforcing a hodgepodge of
new regulations governing the use and placement of
news racks, and citations are already piling up:

pursuing a street-furniture proposal that may reward
Clear Channel or JCDecaux with
a lucrative contract to replace proprietary news racks

City Paper's luxury suite, the tensions
between "New Timesers and Voiceniks"
and the new owners of Cleveland Free
Times, and what the association should
look like in the future. "Working at an
alternative, I know that the thrust of [Neal
Pollack's awards luncheon] punch lines --
that we are verging on the old and
irrelevant -- is something we should
be keenly aware of."
