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:
“If you are one of the hewers of wood and drawers of small weekly paychecks, your letters will have to contain some few items of news or they will be accounted dry stuff.... But if you happen to be of a literary turn of mind, or are, in any way, likely to become famous, you may settle down to an afternoon of letter-writing on nothing more sprightly in the way of news than the shifting of the wind from south to south-east.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
