The Phoenix (newspaper)

The Phoenix is the name of several alternative weekly newspapers published in the United States by Phoenix Media/Communications Group of Boston, Massachusetts including the Boston Phoenix, the Providence Phoenix, the Portland Phoenix and the now-defunct Worcester Phoenix. These papers emphasize local arts and entertainment coverage as well as lifestyle and political coverage from a liberal perspective.

The papers are somewhat similar in format and editorial content to the Village Voice.

On August 1, 2012, it was announced that Stuff Magazine and the Boston Phoenix newspaper will merge and the result will be a weekly magazine to be called the Phoenix, to debut in the fall of 2012. The first issue of the new, glossy-paper Phoenix has a cover date of September 21, 2012.
