The Cincinnati Enquirer will start a separate, free weekly publication Oct. 29, offering young families and singles articles about travel, dining, music, health and careers.
CiN Weekly plans an initial distribution of 60,000 copies from 1,500 locations in the Cincinnati area and northern Kentucky, including restaurants and supermarkets. The all-color tabloid will be aimed at readers ages 25 to 34.
"We want to connect people in their 20s and 30s to their community and to each other," said Beryl Love, editor of
CiN Weekly. "And we won't be afraid to have some fun in the process."
The publication's staff will be separate from the Gannett Co.-owned
Enquirer, which has its own joint operating agreement with
The Cincinnati Post, owned by E.W. Scripps Co.
CiN Weekly has a separate editorial office in Cincinnati and is to be printed in Indiana.
Other newspapers have begun similar offerings aimed at young readers and commuters.
The Tribune Co. publishes a youth-oriented tabloid in its home city of Chicago called
RedEye, which goes up against
Red Streak, published by the
Chicago Sun-Times.
Gannett's
Lansing (Mich.)
State Journal publishes a free weekly called
Noise. The Indianapolis Star, also owned by Gannett, plans to start a weekly publication Dec. 11 called
INtake for young professionals.
AmNewYork, a free daily intended for young commuters, made its debut Oct. 10 in New York City. The paper is being published Monday through Friday, with features including an opinion page, a daily column and political cartoon, entertainment and sports sections, classified ads and television listings.
The publisher is Russel Pergament, founding publisher of the
Boston Metro tabloid. The Tribune Co. has majority ownership, but Pergament has control of operations.
