Philadelphia City Paper is a prize-winning alternative weekly newspaper that publishes fresh perspectives on local news, arts, music, movies and food. The paper is free and publishes every Thursday in print and daily online at citypaper.net. Staff reporters focus on labor issues, politics, education and poverty. Critics review the city’s arts, entertainment, literary and restaurant scene. Listings of concerts, art exhibits, dance performances and other events are carried in the paper and in a comprehensive online events calendar. A popular weekly feature, the I LoveYou/IHate You column, is a distinctive collection of reader-submitted musings and rants on the frustrations and small victories of city life. The publication was established in November 1981 as a spinoff of the now defunct WXPN Express newsletter. Philadelphia City Paper distributes 70,000 copies in more than 2,000 locations throughout Philadelphia, its Pennsylvania suburbs and South Jersey. It is the most-read weekly in Pennsylvania. Its signature orange-colored boxes and wire racks can be found in more than 2,000 high-traffic areas in Center City Philadelphia, in cafes, small businesses and on many university campuses. Each year, City Paper publishes a City Guide that is a handy resource for college students and new residents, providing information about music venues, restaurants, shopping, transportation and the city’s history.
