I know - how could I possibly forget? ;0)


I'm starting to lean towards the idea of a small printed edition, with references to an online location where more up-to-the-minute stories, columns, etc... are available.

But I'm still open to other ideas :0)

[Dec31,1999]

Why don't you contact Russ Smith, AKA "Mugger" Of the New York Press? He brought the Village Voice to its knees in NYC. (Through Competition, he made the VV stop charging for its rag.)

His publication, New York Press, was started somewhere around 1988. It was a libertarian/conservative/with lots of interesting stuff-thrown-in-alternative Manhattan weekly that survives to this day. I've read the greater part of their issues since I discovered it in 1989.

A couple of years ago, he had an excellent right wing writer named Taki; some rich conservative Greek-American, or something. It was really great to read truly alternative articles in Manhattan.

There's a market out there! Good luck!

Let's see if this link will work: New York Press.

He sold it this year, but he still writes most every week, Mugger, that is, but apparently not this one. Keep the link, though, because this guy did exactly what you want to do now. He made his million or so, probably, and has now moved to Baltimore. And he supports Bush!
