AltWeeklies.com Surpasses 25,000-Story Marknew
It took us a little more than 40 months, but yesterday, the 25,000th story was posted to AAN's collaborative news site. While we'd love to say the milestone was marked with one of the in-depth investigations our members are so well-known for, alas, the 25,000th story was a recipe for "Drunken Cherries" from Philadelphia Weekly. It's true: it takes all kinds, especially here at AAN, but perhaps it's fitting that the milestone was marked by a food story, considering alt-weeklies' domination of food-writing awards over the past few years. Either way, there's plenty of content on AltWeeklies.com, be it about politics, food, or whatever else you may be into. "I'm not usually big on milestones, but this one is significant to me because it shows the real development of AltWeeklies.com as a deep, valuable resource for readers and for editors," says AAN senior editor Jon Whiten.

Nashville Scene Publisher Stepping Downnew
"Chris Ferrell announced to the staff this morning that he'll be leaving the paper soon to start a new media company," the Scene reports. "I have worked with some of my favorite people in Nashville for the last three years, and week in and week out we put together a paper that matters to this city in terms of our coverage of news, our support of the arts and of culture," says Ferrell. "I have loved my time at the Scene. This was just too good an opportunity for me to pass up." Ferrell took over as the paper's publisher Jan. 1, 2005, succeeding founding publisher Albie Del Favero, now publisher of The City Paper.

Study Offers Surprising Numbers on Newspaper/Yahoo Dealnew
Deutsche Bank analysts estimate the advertising alliance between around 400 newspapers and Yahoo "could push newspapers into positive revenue territory a year earlier than originally forecasted," Editor & Publisher reports. The upswing could come as early as 2009, and papers involved in the deal could see a lift in year-over-year online revenue growth from 20 percent to 40 percent by the second half of 2008, the study says.

Michael Lacey Attempts to Give LA Observed 'A Little Perspective'new
"As a source of gossip, half truths, lies, slander, unfounded speculation and general lazy-ass foolishness, LA Observed remains invaluable," Village Voice Media's executive editor writes in an e-mail published on the site. "Comes the news flash that three writers have, or will soon, depart the L.A. Weekly. To LA Observed, these are not matters of opportunity but signs of darkening skies," he writes. "In a city like Los Angeles writers find books, scripts and other opportunities. At any newspaper you have the occasional clash. You might have ascertained all of the above if you ever picked up the phone and talked to the targets of your biliousness."

Boston's Weekly Dig Contracts, Expands
Editor Michael Brodeur is no longer with the company "as part of an editorial restructuring," and will not be immediately replaced, according to a press release. "This wasn't an easy decision," says Jeff Lawrence, Dig founder and president. "I wouldn't be surprised if his byline shows up in the Dig in the future though. He's a great writer and it's already been discussed." As Brodeur moves on, Alfred Wilson joins the company as VP of Business and Marketing. He will oversee all sales operations at the Dig and will also act as Group Publisher for Dig Publishing's custom publishing initiative, which includes Beer Advocate magazine, as well as several as-yet-unnamed in-market publications to be launched in 2008. Wilson previously worked at the Phoenix Media Communications Group in Boston for five years before spending two years in management consulting.

Willamette Week Cover Story Turns into Book Project
What began as a May 2004 story on Starbucks for Taylor Clark has turned into his first book, Starbucked: A Double Tall Tale of Caffeine, Commerce, and Culture, soon to be released by Little, Brown. The former staff writer "chronicles the rise of Starbucks from a modest Northwest operation to a global powerhouse, examines the ways the company impacts society, and what it says about our culture that the company can place stores literally within sight of one another and turn a healthy profit in both," according to a press release." Publisher's Weekly says that Clark's "dubious perspective on one of the modern world's most ubiquitous icons is just frothy enough to prove entertaining."
