Free and news-free. You'll
find more news about the Boston Metro this week than
you'll find in the Metro.
In the new issue of
CommonWealth magazine, Jeffrey
Klineman (free reg.
req.) offers a smart take on the thin freebie tab, which has been
a hit on subways since its debut two years ago.
Globe columnist
Steve
Bailey writes today that
the Globe is thinking about starting its own competitor to the
Metro.
And when I asked Herald
publisher Pat
Purcell last month about
rumors that he was thinking of launching a Metro-like
publication, he told me, "We're taking a look at doing something
there. It has been an annoyance and has probably impacted circulation
a little bit."
