PAPER TUSSLE
This story about the sale of Creative Loafing brings back some memories. Way back in 1974 when I was a reporter at the Mobile Press-Register, I pitched the editors on an idea for a "soft news" supplement to the paper. It would be patterned on something called "readers" like Chicago's Reader and Atlanta's Creative Loafing. They turned it down. I did it anyway. They fired me. And I went on to publish the Azalea City News. Creative Loafing, which now publishes six weekly newspapers and has a combined weekly circulation of more than 400,000, is headed to the auction block next week in a Tampa bankruptcy court.
