In contrast, The Stranger (perhaps the closest relative to the Weekly content-wise), most recently published 64 pages, with 30 pages of content, including “things to do,” astrology, a crossword and comics, a marijuana column, and other original content. Content included a feature story, local news, a marijuana column, and calendar listings. The most recent edition of the Seattle Weekly featured 12 pages six stories (two stories were shared content from Sound’s other papers). The publication was available for free at newsstands throughout Seattle. In recent years, the Weekly’s pages began to echo much of Sound Publishing’s other newspapers - dwindling content in favor of massive ad placements. Sound is the largest community newspaper owner in the state. A group of Black Lives Matter protesters in Seattle marched through a residential neighborhood this week demanding that white residents give up their homes, dramatic video shows. Sound Publishing purchased the Seattle Weekly in 2013, and trimmed down its employees over the years. Local journalist Knute Berger, aka “Mossback” was its editor for many years, before moving over to Crosscut. The Weekly was founded in the 1970s by David Brewster, who also started Crosscut.
