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.

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."

Last year, 50 percent of total online video ad revenue went to local newspaper sites, while 20 percent went to TV-station sites and the remainder was spread among other local sites, according to a new Borrell Associates report. While video accounted for only five percent of local online advertising this year, Borrell expects that figure to increase to 35 percent by 2012, for a total of more than $7.7 billion.

Alt-Weekly Sells Advertorial Space to Conservative Papernew
The politically conservative Sacramento Union has purchased two pages of ad space for 13 weeks in the Sacramento News & Review, according to the Sacramento Business Journal. The two pages will be original editorial content, meant to expose the alt-weekly's audience to the Union's ideas. In a press release, the Union's publisher thanks the News & Review for "thinking outside the box and having the courage of their convictions to print another opinion." In the same release, News & Review president Jeff von Kaenel anticipates potential criticism and takes it head on: "The Sacramento Union's pages will contain plenty of content that we will strongly disagree with," he says. "But does that paper have a right to buy space and get those opinions heard? The answer is yes."
