Winners of the contest, which is sponsored by the California Newspaper Publishers Association, were announced earlier this month. Chico News & Review won the "General Excellence" award for weekly papers. Sacramento News & Review, as detailed here, picked up eight first- or second-place awards, more than any other weekly in the competition. Also snagging awards were Metro Silicon Valley, North Bay Bohemian, Palo Alto Weekly, Pasadena Weekly, San Francisco Bay Guardian and Santa Barbara Independent.
Willamette Week's "Candidates Gone Wild!" (pictured) offers an interesting twist on the traditional newspaper-sponsored political debate. It also helps to promote the paper as a "source for uncensored, pull-no-punches coverage of politics and elective office," says editor Mark Zusman. His paper is just one of many in AAN that regularly host local events that raise their profile, define their brand and, perhaps, increase ad revenue and readership.
In this article for the Chronicle of Higher Education, Todd A. Price of the New Orleans alt-weekly says that "a Ph.D. in Baroque Spanish theater can lead to a career as a food critic" -- at least in his case.
Doug Clifton, editor of the Cleveland daily, recently admitted to keeping two stories "of profound importance" from readers. His contention: The stories, based on leaked documents, could ultimately force reporters to reveal sources or go to jail (see: Miller, Judith). This week, Scene broke one of those suppressed stories -- about the FBI's probe of former Cleveland Mayor Mike White -- in a cover story by Pete Kotz titled "City for Sale."
