NEW HAVEN - Editor Tom Ficklin has left the Inner City newsweekly following long-term disagreements with his partner, publisher John Thomas. With lawyers involved, the parties aren't talking (except to say that lawyers are involved), but Ficklin has been a fixture on the city's media scene and helped make the Inner City an engaging stew of local and national coverage of issues affecting primarily the African-American community.
Targeting a younger audience - maybe - is Punchline, a tabloid monthly published out of Hartford) but with free boxes in downtown New Haven) that debuted earlier this month. The 24-page first edition says that 40,000 copies are distributed throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Hip-hop culture seems to be the theme, with ads for dance clubs, record stores and clothing boutiques.
