Finding News in Scottsdale Just Got Tougher
If you are a newshound and happen to live in Scottsdale, Arizona, you just lost part of your news diet. The sprawling upscale suburb last week got penciled out of the future plans of the East Valley Tribune, which is slicing staff in half, cutting back to four print editions a week and focusing on the more distant, faster growing Mesa, Gilbert and Chandler areas.
 
The Phoenix-based Arizona Republic already dominates the area in circulation and has been serving the city for five years with a five-times-a-week community-based edition.

Grisly Details of Newspaper Advertising Now Emerging
Obviously, the credit crisis and accompanying recession cannot be good for already-battered newspaper advertising. Now some of the details of the trouble ahead seem to be emerging.

The Newspaper Association of America quietly released an estimate six weeks ago that total industry ad revenues would fall 11.5 percent this year and 5.5 percent in 2009. Online ad revenue, once a growth dynamo, will slow to 1.8 percent this year according to NAA, rallying to 9 percent growth next year.

Freewheeling Comments, Traditional Owners Create Paradox of Topix
Chris Tolles identifies himself as your basic "Silicon Valley rock-thrower."  He is also CEO of Topix, a heavily trafficked site with some news aggregation and a whole lot of freewheeling user commentary (100,000-plus posts a day).
 
Tolles said that he is uncomfortable with "hateful" speech, and like most anyone hosting comment chains, he and his staff spend a chunk of each day taking down the most offensive.  Otherwise, though, he is tolerant of posts that are directed at individuals, factually unreliable or even tinged with racism.  He is from the school that free speech and participation are good and that taste and truth will emerge in the end.
