The Village Voice, based in New York City, was one of the first and best-known examples of the form. Since the Voice's demise in 2018, Marin County's Pacific Sun, founded in 1963, is now the longest-running alternative weekly. The Association of Alternative Newsmedia is the alternative weeklies' trade association. The Ruxton Media Group (formerly known as Voice Media Group Advertising) is the only national advertising sales representative for more than 100 alternative weeklies after the Alternative Weekly Network passed the torch in early March 2025.
