We take a look at what a few alt-weeklies are doing to get their content to this new mobile set.

Independent Weekly Wins Freedom of Information Award and Morenew
The Lafayette, La., alt-weekly was given the Freedom of Information award by the Louisiana Press Association "for its exposure of a

Judges of the award called senior editor Leslie Turk's coverage "passionate and vigorous," the Weekly reports. The paper won a total of 20 first place honors in the Association's annual awards -- in categories ranging from investigative reporting to best advertising idea to best website.

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.
