Cecil Bothwell, who was fired from the XPress last month, is now a business partner in and news editor of Asheville City Paper. The paper, which is being started by the independent weekly Columbia City Paper, will be monthly at first and hopes to go bi-weekly by Spring. A press release posted at Bothwell's blog says the City Paper, "targeting an 18-45 liberal demographic, will feature hard-hitting investigative journalism and will cover national politics, local news and music." Managing editor Todd Morehead tells the Ashvegas blog: "We're all super excited and Cecil already has a gutsy investigative piece in the works that he says Mountain Xpress was 'too timid' to publish."

New York Magazine Drops Adult Ads Under Pressure from NOWnew
New York agreed yesterday to stop accepting adult ads after the New York chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) threatened protests outside the magazine's offices, the Associated Press reports. "It's just the right the thing to do," New York spokeswoman Serena Torrey says. "The magazine is really prospering now and it's finally time to get out of a business that we were never comfortable being in." The pressure is part of an orchestrated campaign by NOW, which has been asking other local media to stop taking adult ads. It has won agreements to do so from 14 other publications including Time Out New York and the New York Press, but the Village Voice has resisted the group's efforts, the AP reports.
