Meanwhile, in other gay media news: our prediction was right – HX Media’s In Newsweekly fired associate publisher Bill Berggren.
Matthew Bank, CEO of HX Media, which owns IN Newsweekly, fired the paper’s associate publisher, Bill Berggren, Jan. 2. Berggren’s termination comes less than a month after four of the paper’s longtime freelancers, including former editor Fred Kuhr and religion columnist Rev. Irene Monroe, left the paper, claiming that the paper has lost editorial focus and that they have waited months for HX Media to pay them for their work.
When it rains, it poors!
pansy-ass
HX media didn’t pay freelancers? Aren’t they owned by Window Media who owns Genre who also hasn’t payed freelancers? What’s up with that?

This is so sad…Bill was the face of InNewsweekly

Yeah, from what my bud in Boston told me, Bill was ignoring his duties at InNews and setting up a new magazine. It’s sad because Bill’s not a bad guy but just did a stupid thing. I work in HR and this sure is a firing offense.
