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.

Sacramento News & Review Publisher Steps Down
Scott Hassenflu will leave the News & Review and the board of the Alternative Weekly Network (AWN) on May 18. In a letter sent yesterday to his AWN colleagues, Hassenflu says his "short term plans" call for "some much needed R & R" and a more active role in a home-furnishings store he co-owns. Hassenflu has served on the AWN board for the past 10 years, and has had a long career in the alternative press, including stints with the Dallas Observer and San Francisco Bay Guardian.

Salt Lake City Weekly Owner Responds to Spurious Ad Claimsnew
Last week, the entertainment magazine In Utah This Week ran an ad claiming that it has eroded the alt-weekly's readership by 20 percent in five months. But Weekly owner John Saltas sarcastically points out the ad -- which appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune, In Utah's sister publication -- grossly overestimates the magazine's readership by referencing the wrong numbers. "CUME numbers mostly impress young reps and rookie managers and are a crock when used to purposely mislead as the In Utah folks did in [the] ad," Saltas says.

'Obscene' Ad Refused by Dailies Runs in Alt-Weeklynew
The Hartford New Haven Advocate ran an ad (pictured) last week that was rejected by the New York Times and the New Haven Register because it portrayed a nude figure, the Yale Daily News reports. The ad, for the Yale Repertory Theatre's production of Lulu, featured a photograph of a woman's bare torso with an apple obscuring her pubic area. (The Hartford Courant reproduced a copy of the image for a story it ran after the Times and Register rejected the ad. The Courant, like the New Haven Advocate, is owned by the Tribune Co.) The theater's associate marketing director says that few have raised objections to the ad other than the daily papers.
