On July 30, Fran Zankowski is leaving his role as chief executive officer of the company that publishes the Hartford Advocate, the New Haven Advocate and the Fairfield County Weekly, all in Connecticut, and the Valley Advocate in Massachusetts. He has been CEO of New Mass. Media since 1999, when the company was purchased by The Hartford Courant. Zankowski chairs the AAN board's Organization and Bylaws Committee, whose proposed amendments to the AAN bylaws were accepted at the annual membership meeting in June. He is also a member of the Admissions Committee.
Catherine M. Nelson, publisher of Madison's new Core Weekly, tells reporter Judy Newman of the Wisconsin State Journal that she's not going after readers of AAN member Isthmus. But Isthmus publisher Vince O'Hern says it's obvious that the arts-and-entertainment paper backed by Capital Newspapers will try to challenge the 28-year-old weekly. In the face of competition, alt-weeklies have to be sharp and good at what they're doing, he says.
Dirt is the name of the free weekday newspaper Boulder Publishing Co. will debut Aug. 20. The paper, which is geared toward the 18- to 24-year-old market, will be distributed in and around the University of Colorado campus, reports the Daily Camera, which is also owned by Boulder Publishing. The new paper will compete in the same market as AAN member Boulder Weekly.
Capital Newspapers, the publisher of The Capital Times and the Wisconsin State Journal, is investing in a new arts and entertainment weekly to be distributed in the same city as longtime AAN member Isthmus. The youth-oriented Core Weekly will launch in late August, The Capital Times announced. Catherine Nelson, associate publisher of Milwaukee's The Shepherd Express, has been named Core Weekly's publisher.
