'''''Honolulu Weekly''''' iswas an [[alternative weekly]] [[newspaper]] published in [[Honolulu, Hawaii|Honolulu]], [[Hawaii|Hawai{{okina}}i]]. Founded by Laurie V. Carlson, it began publishing in the summer of 1991, ostensibly to fill gaps in investigative reporting left by the two main dailies, ''[[Honolulu Star-Bulletin]]'' and ''[[The Honolulu Advertiser]]'', which were under a joint operating agreement at the time, but ironically creating new gaps in taste and perspective. In May 2005 the ''Weekly'' acquired the [[Kona District, Hawaii|Kona]]-based ''[[Hawaii Island Journal]]''.<ref>{{Cite web [|date=2007-09-27 |title=Honolulu Weekly Purchases Hawai'i Island Journal {{!}} Association of Alternative Newsweeklies |url=http://aan.org/gyrobase/Aan/ViewArticle?oid=oid%3A146321]:146321 |access-date=2022-09-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927194313/http://aan.org/gyrobase/Aan/ViewArticle?oid=oid:146321 |archive-date=2007-09-27 }}</ref> The Hawaii Island Journal published its last issue on Friday, June 13, 2008.
