Seven Days Moves All Personals Online, Leaving Some Luddites Behindnew
Co-publisher/co-editor Paula Routly says the remaining advertisers on her paper's voice-personals system now have a choice: "Find an internet connection at the local library, or a real one at the nearest bar." The Burlington, Vt., weekly switched to online personals about a year ago but kept the old system "for those dial-up, off-the-grid or never-adopter readers." Nevertheless, it has seen the number of users dwindle "to a handful." One 36-year-old reader isn't happy about the switch. "I have an old-fashioned view of what it means to be close," Nick Zandstra says. Although he admits his resistance is "futile," he has no intention of getting a computer. "I can better observe the phenomenon by not being in the phenomenon," he says.

Portland Through the Eyes of the New York Timesnew

Willamette Week is understandably biased
on the issue. So if you aren't sure yet whether you're attending this year's AAN convention (or you simply want to use the Time's new double-click dictionary to look up words like "chic," "funky," "spritely," and "unneurotic"), here's 36 Hours in Portland, Ore., with the Gray Lady.

Creative Loafing (Charlotte) Celebrates 20th Anniversarynew

"Hey, this is cool," Matt Brunson remembers thinking when he was offered the opportunity to write for the alt-weekly in 1988. "I'll be able to earn a couple of extra bucks before this paper folds within the year." Twenty years later, he's Creative Loafing's associate editor and A&E editor. "When this paper started, hardly any of us really knew what we were doing," writes former editor-in-chief John Grooms. "It was [Creative Loafing's] first expansion into another city, and the nuts and bolts of how to do it, more often than not, were up in the air." He says the paper has succeeded because it's "been a source of good writing and quality information, speaking to the reader directly and urging readers to talk back as loudly as they want."

Borrell: Newspapers Nab Largest Share of Local Web Video Adsnew
Last year, 50 percent of total online video ad revenue went to local newspaper sites, while 20 percent went to TV-station sites and the remainder was spread among other local sites, according to a new Borrell Associates report. While video accounted for only five percent of local online advertising this year, Borrell expects that figure to increase to 35 percent by 2012, for a total of more than $7.7 billion.
