The Quiz: Papers like “The Village Voice” and “LA Weekly” are known as what?
Culture tabloids
Youth magazines
Classifieds
Alt-weeklies
Known as alternative weeklies, or “alt-weeklies,” these newspapers eschew standard newspaper voice and structure for more colloquial language, investigations into less-reported topics, magazine-esque feature stories, and often opinionated columns. New York’s “The Village Voice,” Los Angeles’ “LA Weekly,” and Seattle’s “The Stranger” are some of the most famous examples of this medium.
The correct answer to this quiz is Alt-weeklies.
