As the alternative newsweekly industry
matures, competition from dailies and
other media for the desirable
18-to-34
reader intensifies, E&P's Lucia
Moses
reports in this week's cover story. Despite
the burgeoning youth-oriented offerings
from daily media empires, "it may not be
all that dire for alt-weeklies," she
concludes. "They are a long way from
being confused with dailies. They
still write with more opinion and attitude,
and take more risks."
