A Tale of Two Weeklies
For 26 years, two rival weekly magazines existed as the alternative press for one blue-collar, Canadian prairie city. But now, both papers are gone.
What happens when small papers shut down while the daily newspapers are conglomerating nationally? What does it mean for journalists? Or for the artists of a community when a stalwart source of local coverage no longer exists?
A Tale of Two Weeklies looks into the lifespan of Edmonton’s alt-weeklies, led by podcast producers and former weekly staffers Andrew Paul, Paul Blinov, and Fawnda Mithrush. They dig in to the history of Vue Weekly and SEE Magazine through dozens of interviews with those who worked at the magazines, who were affected by their coverage, and who saw the decline of print media through to its job-ending demise; this limited podcast series covers the weeklies’ rise, glory days, their notorious rivalry, and eventual decline.
A Tale of Two Weeklies is produced by Andrew Paul, Fawnda Mithrush, and Paul Blinov. Music is by Luke Thomson. Artwork is by Michael Nunweiler. This series was made possible with support of the Edmonton Heritage Council. Special thanks to Edmonton Community Foundation for use of their recording studio.
