Key Differentiator
Few may realize the alternative newsweekly industry has been a vibrant voice for its readers for more than 50 years. Consistent in this rich history has been a fervent passion to serve as a reflection of, and a resource for, the active urban adult audience. Who reads us? The alternative newsweekly has grown with its audience. While the early years might have been characterized by social and political exploration, 50 years later, this audience has defined itself by exploring urban experiences – from civic activities to fine dining, music, entertainment, and other cultural attractions. As a resource for it’s community these papers have earned a loyal audience of both the Boomers, who have stayed with the paper over the years, and the twenty-something cultural creatives using the paper as a resource for consuming urban experiences.
