I find 2 things quite interesting:
1) That it happened in one of the most conservative cities in the country (in regards to local government VS adult): Cincinnati
and
2) The magazine Connexion closed, if I remember correctly, back in around 2002 or so (I remember because I wrote a column for that publication every issue for about 12 years).
actually the first one is an interesting observation and I have a theory on it
our industry has recently had 3 favorable and one unfavorable ruling
all three favorable rulings were in conservative courts...on in PA one in TX one in OH
the unfavorable ruling was in Denver, a liberl court
I suspect when you get right to it it makes sense, and it explains why those thought to be the most conservative supreme court judges often are in the end first amendment proponents. Conservative judges are far more likely to be strict constitutionalists while liberal judges are more likely to try to re-interpret the constitution to fit the current whims of society.
as for your second point yes the magazine is out of business but it isnt the one you used to write for, this was the ohio and michigan connection magazines...small time local rags
You are correct about Connexion - kinda. Connexion was a big, slick, and expensive glossy national pub put out by Sundance and Assoc (Odyssey) in LA - that is the one I wrote for. The Ohio mag of a similar name was actually put out by a subsidiary of GVA in Cleveland (published out of Reuben's bldg.) and had regional names like Ohio Connexion, Michigan Connexion, etc. - those, as you referred to them, were the small time local rags. Both were very similar as they offered swinger (etc. etc.) ads - among other things.
