Alternatives Not Diverse, Says Cleveland's New Urban Monthlynew
A "disturbing trend of alt-weeklies' [is their]
inaccessibility in inner
cities -- particularly in black inner city areas," Former Cleveland Free Times writer Daniel Gray-Kontar, now editor of Urban Dialect, writes in an e-mail to AAN News. "It's been
a point of
contention for myself and other black writers for many moons as
we question
exactly who we are really writing for." This week Urban Dialect publishes an essay by contributor
Mark Reynolds about the distribution pattern of alt-weeklies as well as "the phenomenon of being an alternative weekly 'Designated Black Writer.'"

Robbins' Story Wins IRE Recognitionnew
The IRE has awarded a certificate to
Tom Robbins of The Village
Voice for "Lush Life of Rudy Appointee,"
which proved the virtual, nonstop
spending spree of tax dollars by an
aide of former New York Mayor Giuliani on
items for himself and his friends. The
Voice's request for documents and
subsequent reporting led to a
17-count indictment this week
against Russell Harding, former
president of the New York Housing
Development Corporation.

Rall, Reckdahl Honorednew
Cartoonist Ted Rall, whose work appears in several AAN papers, and Katy Reckdahl, a frequent contributor to Gambit Weekly, are among the five winners of the 2002 James Aronson Awards for Social Justice Journalism. The judges say that Rall's "Cartooning with a Conscience" has "increasingly grown irreverent, cutting and iconoclastic, almost at times seeming to
eschew humor in favor of mordant portraiture." Reckdahl was recognized for her work on the homeless of New Orleans. "Reckdahl's work challenges the stereotype that the homeless create their own
situation because they are criminals, substance abusers or mentally ill," the judges wrote.
