Creative Loafing World Takeover
Okay, so it isn’t a world takeover, but Atlanta-based Creative Loafing, Inc. has acquired alternative weeklies in both Chicago and Washington DC markets. That’s pretty big news for the little alternative weekly started here in the ATL in the ’70s. (Of course, Metroblogging.com is already on the web in both Chicago and DC.)
You can read all about it on The Fresh Loaf. Congratulations to our little hometown paper; This is good news for alternative publishing.
Thanks to CL’s own Andisheh for the heads up.
wow, i loved the dc city paper when i was in high school…wonder if cl will keep the brand or merge it into the cl brand?
andy, any updates on that?
I don’t know nothing!
My tip to Annie was just a link to the press release.
I just got back from Chicago, and I remember being surprised to discover how bad their alternative weekly was.
Hopefully CL will be a change for the better.
