The Advocate To Become a Monthly

The Advocate, one of the country's oldest biweekly gay publications, will go monthly beginning in January.
Jon Barrett, the magazine's new editor-in-chief, made the announcement during the luncheon plenary session of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association's LGBT Media Summit under way in Washington, D.C.
"I don't think there is a need for a biweekly magazine anymore with the Web," Barrett said.
Barrett added that the magazine will be thicker, with a heavier paper stock.
