Dear New York Times, Alt-Weeklies are Decidedly Not "Over"new
For some reason, media writers in the past couple of years have been throwing shade at alt-weeklies specifically. Are alt-weeklies struggling financially? Yes -- but so is almost every media property in this country that's not funded by a billionaire.

Man, Woman, and Another Mannew
I once worked with a man who came out as gay after 20 years of marriage and two children. Accepting his true self, and then revealing it to the rest of the world, was a struggle for him; he was raised at a time when homosexual men and women were made to believe that their very existence was a slap in the face to the natural order. Many stayed in the closet, conformed as best they could, and the result was a lot of unhappy marriages. One such marriage lies at the center of the Taiwanese film “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.”
