With retail outlets down and competition up, the Capital's alt-weekly has turned to street hawkers to help it get the paper into readers' hands, reports the Washington Post. While the District's free commuter dailies employ hawkers during morning rush hours, the City Paper crew hit the streets Thursday afternoon, to target readers leaving work during "happy hour," says publisher Amy Austin.
The Indianapolis alt-weekly was the subject of an August 2004 AAN News article that detailed editor and publisher Kevin McKinney's eco-friendly business practices, including a switch to newsprint with 80 percent recycled content. Now the paper has gone even further, and McKinney claims the completely recycled paper is whiter and cleaner -- and holds ink better -- than before. He suggests that interested parties contact Mike Fox, the paper's production manager, for details, including information about how to buy the newsprint.
