The Tucson Weekly is an alternative newsweekly that was founded in 1984 by Douglas Biggers and Mark Goehring, and serves the Tucson, Arizona, metropolitan area of about 900,000 residents. Biggers was its editor and publisher until 2000, when he sold the paper to Wick Communications.
The paper is a member of the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies. New issues arrive at kiosks throughout Tucson every Wednesday. Dan Gibson is the current editor in chief. Staff members include Irene Messina, assistant editor, Jim Nintzel, senior writer, Mari Herreras, staff writer, Linda Ray, listings coordinator and David Mendez, web producer.
Longtime editor-in-chief Jimmy Boegle left the Weekly in late 2012 to start his own independent paper in Palm Springs, California.

Famous quotes containing the word weekly:
“More than illness or death, the American journalist fears standing alone against the whim of his owners or the prejudices of his audience. Deprive William Safire of the insignia of the New York Times, and he would have a hard time selling his truths to a weekly broadsheet in suburban Duluth.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
