Glossy Phoenix Rising From the Ashes (or Stuff)

(Photo credit: Wikipedia)The Phoenix Media/Communications Group has slashed five jobs from its free alternative weekly Boston Phoenix newspaper as it prepares for a Fall debut of a glossy Boston Phoenix that will absorb its style magazine, Stuff, the Boston Business Journal reports.

Phoenix Editor-in-Chief Carly Carioli will oversee the revised Phoenix, whose initial publication date has yet to be announced. Stuff's lifestyle profiles are expected to blend in with the Phoneix focus on local politics and the Boston music scene.
