calendar About2012 us

Since 1996, Fort Worth Weekly has provided a vibrant alternative to the city’s often-timid daily, with incisive, irreverent and in-depth reporting that keeps readers well informed. Every week, thousands of Tarrant County residents and visitors pick up the Weekly as their reference guide – what to do, where to go – as well as to stay connected to the goings-on through the edge of the alternative weekly.

The Weekly’s editorial staff may have more decorations per capita than any newsroom in the country: two Pulitzer Prize winners, the George Polk Award for courageous reporting, plus numerous annual awards from the Houston and Dallas press clubs, the State Bar, National Women’s Political Caucus, Association of Alternative Newsweeklies, and Investigative Reporters and Editors.

The Weekly makes a difference. Our stories have helped expose the corruption that brought down MCI Worldcom, sparked investigations into stories with national scope and interests such as sex crimes, human trafficking, corporate racism, governmentsanctioned pollution and more.

60,000 copies of the Weekly are distributed throughout Tarrant County including Fort Worth, Arlington, the Mid Cities, Southlake, Colleyville, and Grapevine, reaching 130,000 readers every week. 2,000 Distribution points in high traffic areas like:
