	Ethnic/Alternative: Alternative
		In fact, scanning the realm of what a usually called alternative weeklies across the country, it sometimes seems there are few things that hold them together as a genre beyond their tabloid format (an almost universal trait) and their advertising-driven revenue model (they are usually given away free).
		In terms of economics, the alternative weeklies are arguably the most dynamic of all the media we study.
		Alternative weeklies were not spared from the large-scale consolidation that hit the media in general in the 1990s.

	Ethnic Alternative: Alternative
		Alternative weeklies are still relatively strong, especially considering the troubles many print outlets have had in recent years, but the competition has grown.
		But the alternative weeklies are increasingly perceived as serious news organizations by the mainstream media as their readership grows.
		If the older alternative weeklies pass away, what replaces them as advertising vehicles will not, by any means, be duplicating what they are trying to do in terms of the politics, culture and values of the cities in which they appear.

	The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: A new owner for Seattle Weekly
		The Weekly's parent company, Village Voice Media, is being acquired by Phoenix-based New Times Media, which has a reputation for hard-hitting investigative stories and vigorous central control over its publications' news policies.
		Weekly Editor in Chief Knute "Skip" Berger said his staff was digesting the news and expecting to find out more about potential changes after the deal clears U.S. Justice Department review.

	Dr. Helen: PC Alternative Weeklies
		Accordingly, a modest proposal for an alternative to imprisonment would be a general policy of castration (to remove the aggressive effects of testosterone) and leukotomy (a prefrontal lobotomy, to reduce impulsiveness) of criminals, followed by sleep deprivation and psychological torture used by the Chinese tought-reformers.
		When it come to 'alternative' newspapers up here in Boston, we have the venerable Phoenix which has been around since at least the late 70's, as well as the Weekly Dig (full disclosure, they did a review of my Art Show last February that was pitiful writing, even though it was positive on my work).
		In all honesty The Tucson Weekly, the alternative freebie, is the better of the two....at least they don't try to hide their commie leanings and some of the border stories are well written/highly informative.

	Boise Weekly - Not Your Everyday Newspaper: Opinion: Ted Rall: Weekly newspapers in crisis
		The average weekly was taking in roughly a third as much advertising revenue as the average daily in 2002, but with less than a tenth of the staff or overhead.
		Dailies and weeklies are facing similar drops in ad revenue, but, unlike so many dailies, few weeklies are owned by deep-pocketed corporate parents capable of weathering sustained losses.
		And alternative weeklies are given away free, so they can't fall back on subscription revenues.

	Media Alliance - Maneuvering in the Margins: Competition in the World of Alternative Weeklies, by Jonathan Lawson
		The Association of Alternative Weeklies, an industry organization whose members include all of the weekly papers mentioned here, defines “alternative” (for membership purposes) in a wordy tautology: a member newspaper shall exhibit sufficient public service through journalism and editorial distinction and excellence to merit designation as a positive editorial alternative to mainstream journalism.
		Located outside the media mainstream which they exist in part to critique, alternative weeklies share in many of the same issues and institutional realities of their mainstream peers: pursuit of advertising dollars and reader interest, employee struggles for respectable wages and working conditions and others.
		So far alternative weeklies have mostly been omitted from one dramatic consolidation trend—that of convergence, in which a single owner controls different media outlets in the same market—say, a group of television stations and radio stations.

	LA Weekly - Alternative Endorsements
		The Weekly insists that both Mike Feuer and his opponent, Abbe Land, are âextremely qualifiedâ candidates who âeasily outshineâ the rest of the field.
		Yet mere moments later, the Weekly warns of Feuerâs âpenchant for self-righteous finger-pointingâ and the massive amounts of funds he raised in both his current campaign and his bungled bid for city attorney (which he managed to lose despite that massive fund-raising and a 20-point lead in the polls before the election).
		I was frankly puzzled by the L.A. Weeklyâs reasoning in its endorsement for the 41st Assembly District race.
