Talk:Alternative newspaper

message: I'm removing
*Vitality, Cape Cod, MA (unusual for being sharply conservative-leaning and geared towards an older crowd)
from the list of newsweeklies in the main article.
It sounds like a local senior's newspaper or magazine, another distinct genre itself, being mistaken for an alternative weekly.
While a right-wing newspaper could probably be an alternative weekly, and certainly at least follow the format, and an alternative weekly could target older readers (many of them arguably do, and there was some explicit talk about Seattle Weekly, for instance, targetting a 50+ audience a few years back), there's no evidence this is either. The only two pieces of information I've found on it online: Harwich Chamber of Commerce membership listing, Letter to the editor. And here a real right-wing newspaper in Cape Cod, extensively enough reviewing the Cape Cod conservative newspaper scene, doesn't even mention it. (By the way, Joe Scarborough's short-lived Independent Florida Sun tried to join the AAN; you can see their jury's verdict here. Who needs Idol?) Samaritan 10:45, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

message: I believe that several Village Voice Media papers are currently being sold to New Times Media. Does anyone know the exact list? If so, can we update this page accordingly? - Jmabel | Talk 22:13, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

message: What do you think about separating the list into a new list like "List of alternative weekly newspapers" or something? (also remove those external links) It seems highly unnecessary to include all of those here. —Jared Hunt August 26, 2006, 04:44 (UTC)
: I'd be all from moving them to a separate "list" article. I think the external links are useful: they double as references and easy access to the various papers. - Jmabel | Talk 05:57, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The Pitch is indeed an alternative weekly here in Kansas City. However, this link goes to The Pitch (Seinfeld episode) via a redirect. I don't know how to fix this. Can anyone help?--JustAGal 14:25, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Added it to the address provided The Pitch (Alternative weekly), though it's just a clone of Dallas' at the moment. --Hobbes747 08:01, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

message: *Not a single ISSN is listed on this page. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to untag this page and tag the individual pages on publications that could have an ISSN listed but do not? --Keesiewonder talk 12:56, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I have requested to move the page to Alternative newspaper for these reasons:
*A newspaper is what it is. Weekly is too colloquial and generalized a term for the title.
*Only most of the papers in this category are published weekly, certainly not all.

message: The Chicago Reader gets no mention in this article, even though it is maybe only second to the Village Voice in historical significance and influence, and still exists relatively unchanged and un-corporatized today.  I guess it's not an "industry leader"; its absence here only demonstrates the near-death of truly alternative newspapers. 216.80.81.193 17:33, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
