Can Gannett Co. create alternatives to
itself? Burl Gilyard, himself a former
alt-weekly staff writer, looks into Gannett's
plans to launch entertainment
weeklies in Lansing, Mich., and Boise,
Idaho, for AJR. Berl Schwartz, editor
of the alt-weekly City Pulse in Lansing,
says Gannett's targeting these small
markets because it
"wants to feed on the guppies
before it heads to the deeper waters."
