Newspaper Chase X

Just so Media Dieticians don't think I only read the dailies, I also read the weeklies. If you have additional reasons why you read a particular weekly -- much less a daily -- leave a comment!

Reasons to Read the Village Voice:

• Toni Schlesinger's eminently domestic Shelter column
  
• Richard Goldstein's deconstructively critical Press Clips
  
• Boston boy Nat Hentoff (much more important than his Editor & Publisher gig)
  
• Tony Millionaire's dual comic strip Maakies
  
• Francis Davis' jazz writing
  
• The show listing adverts
  
• Ruben Bolling's Tom the Dancing Bug comic strip, which should be swapped with Ward Sutton's lettercol suck-otash
  

Reasons to Read the New York Press:

• When they need to, they're not ashamed to run adverts... on the cover!
  
• Page Two, which, in the June 23 edition, ran on page... six
  
• Neil Swaab's comic strip Rehabilitating Mr. Wiggles
  
• The Thank You, Really item
  
• Jim Knipfel, man genius (and perhaps the only reason you need to read the NYP every single week)
  
• Almost-Media Diet contributor Richard Kostelanetz's occasional contributions (I really need to meet him, as I've been sitting on a draft since 1997)
  
• The Tech section, just because
  
• Jennifer Blowdryer
  
• Nicholas Gurewitz's Perry Bible Fellowship comic strip
  
• Sara Edward-Corbett's See-Saw comic strip
  
• Cecil Adams!
