The Stranger's Blog is Seattle's 'Big One'new
In an overview of the Seattle blogosphere's best and brightest, the Post-Intelligencer says the Slog -- the "chatty little sister to The Stranger" -- is one of the city's most popular blogs. The key to the Slog's success? "The diversity of topics and seemingly incessant posting ... gets readers checking back," the P-I says, citing the blog's 725,000 page views in March and 3,000 RSS subscribers.

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."

New York Press Association: Metroland Editor is 'Writer of the Year'new
Chet Hardin's topics "are provocative, contemporary and often important," judges for the Association's annual Better Newspaper Contest say. "It is hard to distinguish his hard news stories from features, and that's a great compliment," they write. AAN members were well-represented in the rest of the contest as well. Metroland won one additional first-place and one third-place award; the Ithaca Times received one first-place and one second-place as well as three third-place awards; and Syracuse New Times took home four first-place and two second-place awards.
