    • Real Math: You don't have street cred if you can't do the math

      Posted by Jeff from crosscut.com

      Crosscut admonishes the Seattle Weekly for leaving the math out of their "muckraking" piece on Seattle's Real Change Homeless Newspaper. It did sort of crack me up that Tim Harris closed his blog post with "They should stick to stories about how it's OK now to wear loud sweaters, or how there's too many cigarette butts on the sidewalks" and the Weekly's cover this week, "Inside the never say die world of dog rescuers!"

    • Seattle Weekly and Me by Geov Parrish

      Posted by Jeff

      This is a story not about me, but about a distant corporate behemoth coming in and effectively dismantling one of only four functioning print newsrooms in our city, with another, the P-I, on death watch. It was the only local commercial news department in any medium consistently willing to take grass roots political activists and groups seriously. The destruction of the Seattle Weekly news department is a loss for the entire city.

      Mossback: The Seventh Sign (Seattle Weekly)

      Posted by Jeff from Seattle Weekly

      Skip Berger and Chuck Taylor leave Seattle Weekly today after it's acquisition by a larger conglomerate of alternative newspapers. I was surprised by the frankness of Skip's closing: "I know that life as a civilian will help me refine the frustration and alienation I feel as Seattle, in my humble opinion, slides downhill."

      Uncertain times at Seattle Weekly

      Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times

      The Weekly will look more like other New Times papers, he acknowledges. "Some may say that's a cookie-cutter approach," he says. "All I can say is, it's worked in every market in the country."

    • Mossback: Show Us the Sonics' Money!

      Posted by Jeff from Seattle Weekly

      I knew Berger the week off last week - I didn't know it was because our ActionStudio petition wrote his column for him :) It's great to see such fun creative responses to an issue of public corruption - Howard Schulz and the billionaires wanting money for the Sonics and Trailblazers.
