Dan Shannon, publisher of Chapel Hill Magazine, announced last week he plans to launch a weekly newspaper in February 2012.
The newspaper, to be called Chapel Hill Magazine’s The Weekly, will follow the business model of its parent publication, which is mailed to affluent Chapel Hill households for free and sold on newsstands, according to a report in Folio Magazine. The newspaper will be delivered without charge to 2,000 randomly selected households, and 5,000 copies will be sold on newsstands.
