To find what's above, look where you might not think to during this convention/general election season: alt weeklies. By their nature, they aren't obliged to follow the traditional storylines that are driven now more than ever by cable TV and politics-only blogs. So what you get are some pretty creative ways of covering the news.
Sample this week's offerings, for instance. The Denver Westword has a piece on where prostitutes were during the DNC. City Pages, the Minneapolis alt weekly, set out in true Daily Show fashion to find what it calls the "Republicaniest Republican of them all."
Village Voice Media, the parent company, has been promoting the heck out of these two convention host city weeklies with a "Convention Coverage 2008" box that appears in some of its publications.
