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:
“Henry David Thoreau, who never earned much of a living or sustained a relationship with any woman that wasn’t brotherly—who lived mostly under his parents’ roof ... who advocated one day’s work and six days “off” as the weekly round and was considered a bit of a fool in his hometown ... is probably the American writer who tells us best how to live comfortably with our most constant companion, ourselves.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
