Creative Loafing at 30new
"Can you trust an alternative newspaper over 30?" Creative Loafing Atlanta's Senior Editor John Sugg asks. Well, yes and no. In a column published in Weekly Planet Tampa, Sugg's old stomping ground, he says alt-weeklies may be greying and corporate but they're still kicking the dailies' butts. Mainstream media have "dumbed themselves down to the point of imbecility," Sugg says. "Maybe now the alternative press will stand and achieve its true greatness, revealing what the powerful don't want revealed." If they don't, Sugg's hoping some firebrand now in high school is waiting in the wings to create the next underground press.

Dailies Struggle to Reach Young Readersnew
Traditional approaches like special kids' sections or youth-oriented stories sprinkled throughout the paper aren't working, so newspaper chains are testing alternative strategies to snag the elusive 18-to-34-year-old demographic, Editor & Publisher reports. For example, Gannett is launching free weeklies this fall in Boise, Idaho, and Lansing, Mich. and others have tried free-standing publications circulated to high school students. Meanwhile, some media conglomerates have decided that print is not enough, and have added youth-oriented content via radio, broadcast and the Web.

Dan Savage Sets Awards Lunch on Fire
In one of the
most memorable events ever at an
AAN convention, Dan Savage
electrified the seventh annual Alternative
Newsweekly Awards affair with a
high-voltage performance that included
nearly naked waiters and publishers
shedding trousers. One attendee
called it "the best hour of
comedy I've ever seen." Savage's
fatwah: every first-place winner had to
drink a shot and shed an article of
clothing. Two-thirds of the way in,
he admitted, "I can't believe you are
all playing along. The power of one
pushy fag in AAN -- it's amazing."

Vanessa Leggett Describes Her Crash Course in Journalism
Speaking at AAN's First Amendment Luncheon, Vanessa Leggett said she learned journalism "the same way an adolescent boy learns about sex -- groping and fumbling my way through, getting rejected and slapped occasionally." Slapping in her case included jail time for refusing to turn over materials from confidential sources to a Texas grand jury. "We must always work to ensure the free flow of information to the public," she said. "When the government gets involved, that can't occur."
