So says Chicago Reader Publisher and COO
Jane
Levine (pictured), who admits that Tribune
Publishing's new youth-oriented daily tabloid has
made it more
difficult to reach Tribune clients who don't
advertise
in the Reader. "It's just easier for them and
way
cheaper" to add RedEye to their Tribune
media
spend, Levine tells Media Daily News. "These
papers
are going after, and I don't think very successfully,
an age," Levine says. "They want 18 to 34, period,
young for young's sake. What the reader of our
paper
is and always has been is more of
psychographic
and a lifestyle."
