Karpel obliged, explaining why Dirt, like any number of similar tabloids, would ultimately fail to reach young people: Daily papers tiptoe around potentially offensive language and subject matter; they're too "objective" for passion or point of view; and they're institutions far removed from the world most young people inhabit. The Camera chose to publish his one comment that tended to make the opposite point, so he lays out his full argument here.

AltWeeklies.com Debuts This Weeknew
AAN launched a new Web site this week providing links and summaries to some of the most interesting stories in its 122 member papers. AltWeeklies.com debuted on Wednesday with a collection of 100 stories on the economy, politics and social issues, as well as movies, music, books and other arts and entertainment. The site's primary goal is to allow AAN editors to exchange articles and ideas. But it's also a place where readers will discover many more of the same type of intriguing and provoking stories they've found featured in AAN.org's This Week in Alternative Weeklies section.
