PRWeek: Village Voice's Fate Could Impact All Alt-Weekliesnew
"Have alternative papers jumped the alternative shark?" asks Hamilton Nolan. He decides that they haven't, at least not yet, since alt-weeklies continue to offer investigative journalism not available in most blogs. L.A. Weekly's Nikki Finke tells Nolan, "We go where mainstream papers fear to tread, we unearth what mainstream newspapers try to hide, and, in my case especially, we insult who mainstream newspapers fear to offend. ... How can there ever be a diminishing role for that?" However, Nolan also believes that the Village Voice is "the keystone brand in the entire alt-weekly world," and argues that "its future, and that of [Village Voice Media] as a whole, will play a large part in determining whether another generation will read alternative papers or read about them in memoirs."

Film Based on Stranger Column Gets High Marks From NY Critics
"Police Beat," based on the column of the same name by The Stranger Associate Editor Charles Mudede, opened in New York today and has received glowing reviews. Rob Nelson of the Village Voice said that while the film's concept -- vignettes of unusual crimes -- may sound "merely quirky on paper, its look is uniquely ravishing, its effect hypnotic." Manohla Dargis of The New York Times called the movie a "delicately funny tale about everyday surrealism." "Police Beat," which Mudede co-wrote with director Robinson Devor, was also shown at the Sundance Film Festival in 2005.

Esquire Explores Real Identity of Author Exposed by L.A. Weekly
Esquire, which published Nasdijj's first feature story in 1999, issues a "correction" and a profile of Tim Barrus, aka Nasdijj, in its May issue. (Available here to Esquire subscribers.) The magazine gives plenty of credit to L.A. Weekly, which broke the story of Nasdijj's true identity in the Jan. 23 article "Navahoax," calling it "an excellent report" that "created a small sensation." Esquire confirms the details of "Navahoax" and fills in some of the blanks, such as ascertaining that Barrus did have a son with developmental problems named Tommy, as he described in that first Esquire essay, but the details of Tommy's relationship with Barrus "are almost the opposite" of what appeared in the magazine in 1999.
