The San Francisco Bay Guardian is "choking on its own success," the San Francisco Examiner says in a guest column by Martin F. Nolan. "The newspaper's political opponents are products of a 'machine.' Bay Guardian heroes come from a 'movement,' even if they march in Tammany Hall lockstep. The favorite B.G. pejorative is 'corporate.' Does it take money for its ads? Or is it nonprofit?" Nolan writes.
Alternative weeklies and radio stations go together like love and marriage, say three companies that own both mediums. The synergy is easiest to exploit in cross-promotion, but it can also help on the news side. AAN News interviews several executives who have tried this combo and like it.
