PHOENIX — Nicole Leonardi initially thought a new newspaper had arrived in her mailbox this week. But a closer look at the "Arizona Catholic Tribune" revealed a different story.
The Phoenix area was not the only region where papers with the "real news" tagline recently showed up. Similar publications reportedly arrived in mailboxes in cities in Iowa and Illinois. Bengani has traced the networks back to Brian Timpone, who describes himself as a "media executive" on a LinkedIn profile, and Bradley Cameron, a strategy consultant. Cameron, Timpone, the Arizona Catholic Tribune, and several companies that are part of the extended network of publications did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press.
"It’s a really complicated network. There are lots of different entities that are registered in different states," Bengani said. She noted that print editions of another publication that is part of the network, the Grand Canyon Times, have been "showing up in Arizona for a couple of months now."
