weekly newspaper

Local gazette edition

A weekly newspaper is a periodical published once a week, typically serving smaller communities, specialized interests, or alternative perspectives that daily papers don't cover.

Local weeklies focus on town news, school boards, and community events.

Alternative weeklies cover arts, entertainment, and local politics with an independent voice: The weekly newspaper ran an exposé on city hall corruption.
