The South Carolina alt-weekly has been acquired by Resorts Media LLC, a company founded by news industry veteran Charlie Nutt.
After being closed down last month by parent company Portico Publications, then sold to a new owner, Augusta alt-weekly Metro Spirit is once again being published.
Portico Publications has announced the immediate closing of its Augusta, Ga. publication Metro Spirit, which published its final issue today.
Steve Delgado has left his post with Portico Publications to relocate to Los Angeles this summer. Delgado has been with the company, which owns AAN members C-VILLE Weekly, Free Times and Metro Spirit, since 2002, serving as publisher, vice president and, most recently, president. At last year's AAN Convention, he was also elected to the Board of Directors as chair of the Design & Production Committee. "The last eight years with Portico have been an exciting time in my life and it was a very difficult decision to leave the company," Delgado says in a statement. "The people who make go are immensely talented and I will miss working with them every day. I'm looking forward to finding a group on the left coast with an equal amount moxie that can bring out my best."
