….but we’re seeing postings that the weekly Advocate newspapers (Hartford, New Haven, Fairfield County) have printed their final issues?
ed note: All True.
A tribute to the weeklies from Brian LaRue.
The New Haven Independent writes a great obituary for the New Haven Advocate.
My friend Brian has all the details: http://itsbrianlarue.wordpress.com/2013/11/27/goodbye-advocate-weekly/
Man, it speaks volumes about how poorly the Advocate’s rebranding was communicated if, days after the final issue was printed, it still comes as a surprise to readers as media-savvy as the authors of this blog. (Then again, the Courant sent Advocate/Weekly advertisers a memo about the rebranding before it told the papers’ own editorial staffers. Yikes.)
Thanks for linking, Steve. And thanks for calling attention to the news, Duby!
