I just learned that a weekly from my hometown, Jackson, Miss., is at the forefront of cutting-edge newspapers in the US:
“Now the weeklies are trying again: the New Times chain trying to outdo Craigslist with its Back Page initiative, and the Village Voice Media chain appointing a vice president for online. And innovation is coming from the edges, with the Buffalo ArtVoice wading into online multimedia, the Jackson (Miss.) Free Press putting Weblogs front and center on its site, and The Stranger (in Seattle) and Chicago Reader pushing new “aggressively local” online personals.”
