Editor and publisher Ted S. McGregor, Jr., made an appearance this morning on the Al Franken Show, which was broadcast from the Inlander's hometown of Spokane, Wash. McGregor got a chuckle from the host, whose new book is called "The Truth (with jokes)," when he said his 13-year-old paper has proven that its readers want "the truth, with movie reviews." He also discussed alt-weeklies and their place in the universe, and gave a shout-out to his alt-weekly friends publishing in conservative towns like Colorado Springs, Cincinnati and Louisville. (To hear the interview, move the scroll bar on this podcast about four-fifths of the way through the show.)
Two months after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, the city's alt-weekly is hitting the streets with a new issue and a focus on the city's future. Given that those streets are still dominated by trash, debris and discarded refrigerators, Gambit's speedy return feels like a triumph. The 64-page issue is being distributed wherever people are returning to live and work, and publisher Margo DuBos says that she has been thrilled with the community's response.
The Columbus Dispatch reported on Saturday that its parent company completed the acquisition of the AAN-member paper that had been announced on Aug. 31. Michael J. Fiorile, president of the Dispatch Printing Co., says his company was looking at launching a weekly aimed at 18- to 34-year-olds when the opportunity to purchase Columbus Alive arose. According to a page on its Web site, in addition to the area's largest daily newspaper, Dispatch Printing owns several other electronic and print outlets in central Ohio.
