Eric Kallgren Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 3:05pm on Monday, June 22nd, 2009 | Boulder Weekly publisher Stewart Sallo subjected readers to a passionate and incoherent diatribe about how alternative weekly newspapers (like the Boulder Weekly) will take the place of paid daily newspapers (like the Boulder Daily Camera) in "Stew's Views" from January 15-21, 2009:
"Fifteen years ago, in recognition of the inevitable and substantial changes that were taking place in print journalism, the Newspaper of the Future came to Boulder, Colo., as it has to many cities and towns throughout the country during the past several decades. This new brand of newspaper is locally owned and integrally invested and in touch with its community. It is a media organization that is structured to thrive on reasonable profits that are reinvested in a higher quality of investigative journalism and its local community, rather than shipped off to some corporate office in a remote state. The Newspaper of the Future embraces the notion that an independent free press — including freedom and independence from crippling corporate ownership that prohibits it from printing stories that are bad for business — is essential to a true and vital democracy.
The Newspaper of the Future is committed to generating unique content that focuses primarily on local issues, providing its readers with information and opinion unobtainable elsewhere. And the Newspaper of the Future places its role as a source of reliable information ahead of profit, thereby building a relationship of trust with its community in a way that a newspaper company prioritizing profitability cannot. The Newspaper of the Future understands that its readers need more than a who-what-where-when method to news stories, and endeavors to engage in a deeper, more investigative approach that provides context and answers the paramount question: why?
While daily newspapers continue to hold fast to their outdated model of paid subscription with daily delivery, the Newspaper of the Future is free and distributed weekly, with daily updates online."

In the "Stew's Views" from the previous week, Sallo had described his newspaper in relation to the traditional daily newspaper as "what the Internet is to the library." Good one!

Hannah Boulder, CO | Posted at 5:02pm on Thursday, May 15th, 2008 | I pick up the Boulder Weekly at some point every week, I must admit I love Rob Brezny's horoscope on the back page, but also enjoy Pamela White and Jim Hightower's articles. It is a favorite lunch time companion.
