Fort Worth Weekly Media Kit

Media Kit 2009 - 2010 3311 Hamilton Ave. • Fort Worth, TX 76107 817.321.9700 • www.fwweekly.com

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, government-sanctioned pollution and more.

Every week, the Weekly picks ups where the dailies leave off – coverage and criticism of arts and entertainment. In music, we offer in-depth c.d. reviews, a weekly local column, annual music awards, and exhaustive listings of upcoming gigs. Covering some of the nation’s preeminent cultural institutions, our critics also provide articulate reviews of gallery exhibits and museum offerings and ballet and stage productions. Our writers know how art and music are made because they have studied, showed and performed themselves.

More than 130,000 people read and refer to the Weekly every week to help them decide where to spend their time and money. Our online product receives more than 750K unique visitors a month.

They trust the Weekly with your message.
