Second Annual AAN Film-Industry Event is a Hit
Over 150 AAN member delegates and film industry types converged last Thursday at the Avalon Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles for TrAANsformers, an event designed to demonstrate gratitude to film ad-buyers for their support. Twenty-seven door prizes, all donated by AAN members, were handed out, including a Mexican Riviera cruise and an "Apple" fruit basket with an iPhone, an iPod Nano, and Apple TV. During the two hour event, attendees noshed on sliders and other hors d'oeuvres and drank from the hosted bar, but the party didn't end there. "One of the best signs was that both guests and AAN paper folks hung out way after the free booze was gone and the presents had already been doled out," says The Stranger publisher Tim Keck.

AAN Board Member Resigns, Two Others Appointed
Executive editor Mike Lenehan (pictured) left Chicago Reader, Inc. on Aug. 30, and
as a result he has stepped down from his position as Diversity Chair on the
AAN Board of Directors. AAN president Stephen Leon appointed Jackson Free Press editor and current at-large
board member Donna Ladd to serve the one year remaining in Lenehan's term as
Diversity Chair, and appointed East Bay Express publisher Jody Colley to take Ladd's
at-large seat for the one year remaining in her term. "I think I speak for everyone on the board in expressing our gratitude for
Mike's service over the years," Leon says. "We're going to miss his dry wit, and also his common sense." Lenehan has served on the board since 2002 and was elected as the association's first Diversity Chair in 2004.

Report: Fragmentation Keeps Ads Off Local Online Medianew
The local advertising group Marchex estimates that only 5 percent of local ad dollars goes to local internet advertising. To get a larger piece of the local ad pie, a website needs to aggregate a large-scale local audience, according to "Unlocking the Potential of the Local Internet," a new report issued by the group. "There is no shortage of local content on the internet," said the report. "The problem for consumers is that this content is usually highly fragmented across a myriad of sites and is not optimized for decision making."

Creative Loafing Starts to Make Changes at the Chicago Readernew
CEO Ben Eason recently told the paper's distribution drivers that they would be terminated as salaried employees and made independent contractors following this week's issue, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. The change would result in both a drop in income and a loss of benefits, and the majority of the 20-plus drivers have thus far rejected the offer. "It's just not economically viable anymore, and I don't know of any other alternative paper that works that way now," says Eason, who indicated if the stalemate couldn't be resolved, he would bring on new drivers. There have also been staff changes, according to the Sun-Times. Advertising director Don Humbertson and art director Sheila Sachs, both longtime Reader employees, have left the paper. "I don't want people to think that because we were purchased that folks have come in and made decisions to act against our best interests," publisher Michael Crystal tells the Chicago Tribune. "It's very simple for people to point fingers at new ownership and all that kind of thing. We're just trying to wade through this in a way that makes sense."
