Right-Wing Group Subpoenas OC Weekly Photographsnew
Judicial Watch, which
buried Bill and Hillary Clinton in legal papers, has subpoenaed OC Weekly writer Gustavo Arellano for all the photographs he shot of a fight that broke out at an anti-immigrant rally in Anaheim, Calif., in December 2001. Judicial Watch represents the anti-immigrant group California Coalition for Immigration Reform, which claims the city of Anaheim didn't protect CCIR members when a melee broke out with counter-protesters. OC Weekly publishes the photographs in question, and it seems they may actually hurt CCIR's case.

Daily Editor Attempts to Silence San Diego CityBeatnew
Bob Kittle, editorial page editor of
the San Diego Union-Tribune, claims he
had never seen the 10-month-old AAN
paper when he learned CityBeat Editor
David Rolland would be appearing on a
local NPR "Editor's Roundtable"
alongside him. Directed to
CityBeat’s Web site, Kittle was shocked to
find profanity -- so shocked, in
fact, that he tried unsuccessfully to get
Rolland kicked off the radio program, on
which Kittle is a regular pundit.
"CityBeat is not journalism. It’s
trash," Kittle wrote in a letter to radio
station KPBS. In this week’s CityBeat,
Rolland responds that Kittle’s real intent
was to "limit the range of debate" in San
Diego,
which he says, "has been too narrow ...
for too long."

A View of Pittsburgh from the Other Side of Pennsylvanianew
Howard Altman, editor of
Philadelphia City Paper, takes off on
Pittsburgh's new baseball park and that
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."

New AAN Member Already Thinking Dailynew
The owners of the Long Island Press, one of the seven applying papers voted into the association at the Pittsburgh convention, "have begun plotting how to take the paper daily to compete with Newsday," reports the New York Post. Jed Morey, CEO of the paper's parent company, the Morey Organization, which also owns three radio stations on Long Island, tells the Post: "We consider the weekly a trial balloon. The size of this market lends itself to two dailies."

Mainstream Coverage of Outing Column "Shallow" and "Homophobic"new
So says New Times Broward-Palm
Beach's Bob Norman, who had
hoped that his column last month outing
South Florida Republican Congressman
Mark Foley (pictured in photo)
"would do some good." But things
"spiraled out of control," says Norman,
after Foley said he wouldn't talk about his
sexual orientation and denounced
Norman's story and "rumors" about him
as "revolting and unforgivable."
According to Norman, the mainstream
media coverage that followed reduced the
debate "to a realpolitikal show, a
grand distraction."
