The delivered newspaper, which had been a biweekly, relaunched May 10 as the Gay City recently made knowns and is going weekly in June John Sutter publisher of the fresh paper and head of Community Media, which newly purchased LGNY, says readers can await a much more news-driven and aggressive newspaper. "[Gay City News] will be focused upon issues of paramount concern to the communities it serves" he said. Barbara Dozetos, a board member of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association, noted that gay newspapers have been moving toward consolidation. She cited last year's purchase of the modern York Blade News, the city's other gay newspaper, and The Washington Blade by the agency of Window Media, an Atlanta-based publisher that allows several gay newspapers. Chris Crain, co-owner and editorial director of the cluster said the Blade News was planning to change from weekly to biweekly publication upon May 17. COPYRIGHT 2002 Liberation Publications, Inc. |
