Alternative newsweeklies--from stalwarts such the "Village
Voice, LA Weekly, "and the "Chicago Reader "to more recent
additions like Seattle's "The Stranger--"have long covered the most
provocative stories with some of the country's sharpest writing and
reporting. And with the decline of the mainstream media,
alternative weeklies now serve as a bulwark against the
disappearance of local print coverage."
Best AltWeekly Writing 2009 & 2010 "showcases articles that
won the "Association of Alternative Newsweeklies's "AltWeekly
Awards in 2009 and 2010. These pieces embody the in-depth
investigative journalism, narrative style, and defiant viewpoints
that define alternative weeklies. Interviews with the authors
illuminate the methods and personalities behind the stories.
Articles feature music criticism from the "Village Voice "and
election coverage from "City Pages "and the "Texas Observer, "as
well as pieces from "Westword," "LA Weekly," "San Francisco
Weekly," and "LEO Weekly." Interviews include journalists Anne
Schindler, Sarah Fenske, Joel Warner, Jonathan Gold, John
Dickerson, Jeffrey C. Billman, Erik Wemple, David Koon and Rob
Harvilla.
