Management at the Gray Lady is considering launching a free, youth-oriented tabloid, Times Executive Editor Bill Keller confirms in a New York Observer report. While Keller says it is "way too early to talk about it," the Times drawing boards are reportedly busy with ideas for the prototype. The tabloid, which will need at least another six months to see the light of day, would be heavy on listings and would compete with The Village Voice and New York Press, among others, a Times source tells the Observer.
