Boston Now launched
The second free daily in Boston, Boston Now launched today (see previous post). Circulation is around 150,000. According to the website the paper is still looking for promotors that can work morning and evening during rushhour. Icelandic owner Dagsbrun is making plans for other cities too. The paper want to include lots of material by bloggers and has a live video streaming of the editorial meetings. The pdf version is not yet online. The new title competes with the Boston Metro.

Over the past couple of weeks (since the Boston Now paper has shown up) at the Wood Island “T” station; the Metro box is empty with increasing regularity. In the past this box has almost always had papers. In asking the guy handing out the Boston Now paper, he has offered excuses of the Metro guy being sick, missing a day and having run out of papers. Naturally, I don’t believe him for a second and suspect that he or an accomplice are removing the Metro and therefore removing the choice.
Question: Is there (all of a sudden) some issue with getting papers to the Wood Island station? Is there a way to prevent the Boston Now guy from removing and discarding the Metro paper? Is this happening anywhere else?
I really like the Metro and go without on the days the Metro box is empty. I hope that whatever the problem is it gets resolved quickly.
Thanks!
PS
Although the guy passing out the Boston Now paper seems nice enough, I personnally prefer the little red box with the Boston Now paper in it. The box is stationary and easier to ignore completely. The person offers up the temptation to fill the empty Metro box with “something”.

I do not take the T on a regular basis so how do I obtain a copy of this great sounding newspaper? Are you planning on adding it to other locations? Public libraries sounds like a good idea. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
