Dig This: Boston Lags in Alt-Weekly Awards

The Association of Alternative Newsweeklies has announced its finalists for 2009 awards (winners are named on June 26). Boston got one sad nomination, not even related to quality content: The Dig was nominated for Cover Design circulation under 50,000 for I Want to Ride My Flycycle, Spring Dining Guide, and Abs of Wood covers by the staff. The Portland Phoenix did get a nod its for Election 2008 Coverage by staff and freelancers. The word "Phoenix" makes several more appearances in the list, but they all relate to the Phoenix New Times. Blast!
