Philadelphia Weekly’s Story

Philadelphia, perhaps America’s most historic city, is experiencing a period of seismic growth and change. As neighborhoods evolve and the constellation of human interaction grows, fewer voices than ever before are recording and reflecting these monumental shifts amongst the city and its denizens.

City dwellers who don’t simply identify as Philadelphians, but those who feel as much a part of the city as the Magic Gardens or Reading Terminal Market, look to Philadelphia’s news sources to discover what’s happening in their city. Yet they’re either met with thin exposure of the things that matter most or vacuous clickbait. Uninformed about the transformative issues defining their communities, these residents struggle to form connections to their neighborhoods and to understand the part they play in enriching, improving, and supporting their city — their identity.

Philadelphia Weekly is telling city dwellers what they need to hear in the way that they both need and want to hear it — entrenching themselves in the neighborhoods that others ignore, and taking the time that others won’t invest to tell vital stories. With meaningful roots in Philadelphia spanning more than four decades, Philly Weekly has long had their fingers on the pulse of the city, providing invaluable context and meaning to the news while helping long-standing traditions and communities thrive alongside emerging cultures and people.

Inquisitive, unafraid, and honest, Philly Weekly doesn’t just point out problems; they offer context and ideas for meaningful improvement. Whether reviewing a local punk band at Underground Arts or covering the ignored side of a lively protest, every Philly Weekly story is crafted with a deep understanding of and affinity for the City of Brotherly Love — and a profound desire to make it a safer, fairer, better place in which to thrive.
