somebody needs to start their own tabloid. this one game in town thing doesnt make sense for a city of Philly's size.

billypenn.com and phillymag.com are decent alternatives. And phillyvoice and newsworks.

DC's second paper is a joke of a rag. The Times. So bad it used to be sold for a dollar a year, then it would not stop coming.it might not even be in print anymore.

I guess Politico might be a better second as it has more readership, but not general news.

Philly Weekly to get a reboot. Don Russell (a/k/a Joe Sixpack) to serve as editor-in-chief.

This morning's Inquirer quotes Gov. Christie in these exact, non-curse filtered words on page B1 of the South Jersey edition: "Who does that fat fuck think he is? He's done nothing but press conferences."

How long have they been printing the F word?

And what about the children?

who is he talking about?

I think it's only in Jersey where they allow that. Sad!

I guess so, yeah. Credited to Andrew Seidman of the Trenton bureau.

Oh, and Bucky, my bad, that was Republican Freeholder John P. Curley who was quoted above,

Further down, Christie is quoted as "I'm the fucking governor of the state."

That attribution seems pretty solid.

newspapers in NJ on the decline
a lot of depressing shit in here, but this was great:

During my stint in Trenton, as many as 30 newspaper, wire service, television and radio journalists would be working on press row. This time, I counted six: two Bloomberg reporters, three for The Record and one from New Jersey 101.5 FM.

Actually, seven. Around 1:30 p.m., Joseph Albright, a columnist for The Jersey Journal, which covers Hudson County, reported for duty. Now into his sixth journalistic decade — “Oct. 12, 1964,” he notes — Mr. Albright, 87, still composes his weekly column on his Smith Corona manual typewriter.

When finished, Mr. Albright typically hands his copy to a reporter down the hall. She converts it into a PDF on her phone, then emails it to his editors.
