New Haven Register to Launch Weekly for Younger Set
The New Haven Advocate becomes the latest AAN member to face a challenge from a daily with its eye on alternative weeklies' young readers. Play, which begins publishing March 3, will be "fun, informative and a little bit edgy," says its editor, Jonathan Cooper. The new tabloid, aimed at 18- to 34-year-olds, will also give New Haven advertisers "further access to a highly attractive audience," says Robert M. Jelenic, head of the Journal Register Company, which owns the Register and 22 other newspapers.
