Early last week Fishbowl DC had more about the coming changes to the Washington City Paper we first reported at the end of August. Now the Georgetown Voice has the full story in its latest edition, which confirms that the alt weekly is undergoing a massive transition away from long-form features and investigative pieces and toward a larger online presence. Within a few weeks, the paper will cease to run its trademark lengthy cover story, instead likely running a sort of wire cover story common to all Creative Loafing titles. Sounds like things are more than a little grim in the City Paper newsroom these days: “Now [the response is] more outright angst and anger and misery over what’s going on,” the Voice quotes editor Erik Wemple. Read the whole thing. UPDATE: Wemple wrote to tell us we’ve got the future of City Paper covers all wrong: “No one here has ever, ever talked about, proposed or even considered publishing “wire” cover stories from Creative Loafing papers.” We definitely shouldn’t have used the word ‘likely’ there — a source had told us something like this might be in the works, but it’s definitely not something the City Paper intends to do, according to Wemple. As for what readers can expect to see on City Paper covers in the future, we’ve asked Wemple to fill us in, and will let you know if and when we hear anything.
