Dailies Launching Youth-Oriented Pubsnew
E&P's Lucia Moses looks at a batch of new daily-owned youth market publications in the works, from Gannett in Lansing, Mich., and Boise, Idaho, and from the Tribune Co., in Chicago and on Long Island. Reaching young readers is a delicate art, as alternative weeklies can attest. "The 'new generation' is newly minted every year," Chicago Newcity President Brian Hieggelke tells E&P.

the city's free alternative papers, such as the Reader and New City, successful," Kirk writes. Gannett is launching "alternative" weeklies in target markets.
