The Independent Weekly Launching Three-Day Music Festival This Fallnew
"Just about every print publication in America is in hunker-down mode nowadays, trying to hang on and ride out the recession," News & Observer music critic David Menconi writes. "It takes real courage to launch anything bold and expensive in an environment like this, and The Independent Weekly is launching something that's plenty ambitious this fall: a music festival featuring around 120 bands playing in 10 venues around downtown Raleigh." The festival, dubbed Hopscotch, is scheduled for Sept. 9-11. Look for an official launch of the festival's website, some preliminary band announcements and the beginning of ticket sales in mid-February.

Publisher Sioux Watson Discusses the Independent Weeklynew
Watson talks with WUNC-FM's Frank Stasio about her long tenure at the North Carolina alt-weekly and the current state of the business. "We were in existence for about 16 years before we made a profit," she says of the Indy, which was launched in 1983. Now, though, Watson says that the paper is financially healthy, all things considered. "When you can compare notes with [other alt-weeklies], we're doing pretty well," she says. She attributes the Indy's resilience in part to the local economy's relative health and also to the leanness of the organization. With only about 30 staffers, she says the paper "can kind of turn on a dime when we see we need to tighten our belt."
