"I'm interested in stories about people whose voices aren't often heard."
In response to a proposed law to make English the official language of Pennsylvania, a special Spanish edition of Pittsburgh City Paper is on newsstands this week.
Pittsburgh City Paper, the city’s leading arts & entertainment newsweekly, kicks off 2011 and its 20th year anniversary with a redesigned logo, layout and added features.
"Cartoons Covered: The Art of the City Paper," which opened last Friday at the Toonseum, features 25 cover illustrations from the past decade, from 16 cartoonists and illustrators, curated by City Paper art director Lisa Cunningham and the Toonseum's Joe Wos. "This is a chance for people to get a second look at the rich and varied talent we've shamelessly exploited for years," City Paper editor Chris Potter says.
The alt-weekly's new web channel will feature a video feed of "Lynn Cullen Live," a popular local radio talk show it began hosting in August. CPtv will also feature video clips from news stories and promotional videos.
Lynn Cullen is re-launching her talk show "Lynn Cullen Live" on City Paper's website. The show will stream live each weekday at 10 am and also be archived and downloadable from the site. Cullen left WAMO-AM this spring when the pending sale of WAMO and its sister stations was announced. "When we read about WAMO exiting their format, we thought it might be an interesting concept to have Lynn be a part of our website," City Paper publisher Michael Frischling says.
Pittsburgh City Paper will be able to see the court order sealing details of the divorce between local publisher Richard Mellon Scaife and his wife, but it won't get access to the official schedule of proceedings. The alt-weekly hoped to see the docket "in order to keep abreast of future developments" in the case. MORE: City Paper editor Chris Potter weighs in on a "surreal few days."
