After 10 years, Birmingham Weekly has emerged as a strong and significant voice in local journalism — a respected major player in a crowded field of conservative, JOA-bound dailies and other alternative papers.

With an emphasis on diverse local coverage, the Weekly tackles city news and opinion, national and local music, film, theater, visual arts, literature and contemporary Southern cuisine.

In addition to our 52 regular issues, Birmingham Weekly publishes several special supplements throughout the year, including an annual dining guide featuring menus from nearly 200 restaurants (The Menu of Menus), a women's issue, a poetry issue and a last- minute holiday gift guide.

The Weekly distributes 30,000 papers every Thursday at 600 locations in the metro area and its surrounding communities. According to The Media Audit, the Weekly has the second highest readership of all newspapers in the market, with a total of 120,000 plus adults. This reach, combined with a highly acclaimed editorial product, makes Birmingham Weekly a natural destination for local and national advertisers alike.
