Too many gereralizations, I'll clean it up a bit. Please help out if you have the time and know about weekly papers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thedudejessemullen (talk • contribs) 22:06, 26 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, I think we should remove the comments detailing what weeklies or semi-weeklies cover. While I do work for a rural weekly, I know of many metro weeklies. Thedudejessemullen 21:19, 16 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
As a secondary statement, note that I've also included information that weeklies sometimes cover other topics than general news/sports, etc., such as business news and sports. If any editors out there would be willing to add something at the end of the article (after the main body) to cover these publications, this would really help improve the article. In addition, would anybody (perhaps Jesse or someone else) be willing to add photographs to really boost this article? Finally, does anyone know of any notable weeklies that we could state in the article? [[Briguy52748 21:34, 16 March 2007 (UTC)]]Reply
I've made a few amendments to make the article slightly less US-centric (added "or other local elected representatives" to the bit about State legislators, so in the UK context it includes people like Members of Parliament, Members of the Scottish Parliament, Welsh and Northern Irish Assembly Members, Members of the European Parliament, and local councillors at different levels - from county through district, down sometimes to parish council level). Also expanded the sports section as inter-school sports are almost unknown in the UK and certainly have no following beyond the families of the players, instead we may have village or community teams, and it's quite likely that there will be a professional sports team of some description which local people will tend to support. -- Arwel (talk) 11:27, 31 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Suggest getting rid of reference to non-digital photography. I don't know anyone in the business who still uses it.--Thedudejessemullen (talk) 01:49, 20 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
This section reads like it came from a high school journalism text. It's not really relevant to an explanation of what weeklies are vs. other publications, and somewhat dated.Fijagdh (talk) 14:50, 6 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
This may be a difference in terminology across countries, but in the U.S., a newspaper is categorized as a "weekly" even if it comes out twice a week. A 2x a week paper might be referred to as a "semi-weekly," but only in a very specific usage. Otherwise, papers are weeklies or dailies.Fijagdh (talk) 15:11, 6 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
The first weekly newspapers were RelationbyJohann Carolus and weekly newspaper Aviso, which where published at beginning of 17th century: the Relation started around 1605 in Straßburg and the Aviso started in January 1609 in Wolfenbüttel.
