City Paper Parodies Post Co.'s Free Dailynew
When the free weekday tabloid Express
debuted Monday morning, the City Paper and its
band of merry pranksters were prepared,
hawking 10,000 copies of its own Expresso
at subway stops across the nation's capital.
The
City Paper parodists, led by Webmeister Dave
Nuttycombe, "anticipated the journalistic
emptiness of Express," according to Slate's Jack
Shafer, who says the Post's new lite version "ladles
the news out
with an eyedropper into tiny text boxes and then
flattens it with a steamroller." Also revealed: The
editor of Express is none other than Dan
Caccavaro, former editor of AAN-member
Valley Advocate.
