Fort Worth Weekly - News, Events, Restaurants, Music

The Weekly provides a vibrant alternative to the city's often-timid daily, with award-winning and irreverent reporters who keep readers well informed and the powers-that-be worried. The Weekly's editorial staff may have more decorations per capita than any newsroom in the country: two Pulitzer Prizes and the George Polk Award for courageous reporting, plus numerous awards from the Houston and Dallas press clubs, the State Bar, National Women's Political Caucus, Association of Alternative Newsweeklies and Investigative Reporters and Editors.

News and features: In our pages, readers discover sides of Fort Worth they've probably never seen, from school contracting scandals to smelly environmental messes and the misdeeds of elected officials, from the doings of the city's powerful elite to the region's connections to terrorism. Even Cowtown veterans probably learned something from our features on Fort Worth's gay community, e-Bay traders, radio personalities, polygamists, peach farmers and adult advertisers.

The Weekly makes a difference: Our stories have helped expose the corruption that brought down MCI Worldcom, sparked investigations of an alleged high-society pedophile, and helped victims of human trafficking, corporate racism, and government-sanctioned pollution receive justice.

Arts and Entertainment: Each week we mine the rich vein of musical talent that runs beneath the Cowtown image. The daily paper leaves this territory largely to us, and from it we take music features, c.d. reviews, a weekly column, annual music awards, and exhaustive listings of upcoming shows and gigs. Covering some of the Southwest's preeminent cultural institutions, our critics offer articulate, take-no-prisoners reviews of galleries and museum offerings and ballet and stage productions that you'll see nowhere else. Our writers know how music and art are made because they've done it. As for movies, we'll put the knowledge and insights of our reviewer up against any of them - for full-length reviews of recent releases, "niche" films, indie productions and classics, plus capsule reviews of most films showing in town. The Weekly's food critics jump on new restaurants and dining trends like a cat on a June bug, giving us arguably the most entertaining and forthright dining-out guide in North Texas. The Weekly's dining-out columnist has the distinctive touch of a top chef -- if the chef had a Big Momma and a Chow, Baby. When it comes to filling your weekend or feeding your mind, our Night&Day columnist is better than a truffle-hunting pig, zeroing in on the best offerings among our full calendar of local events, from classical music to minor league hockey -- and saucing them with his own knowledge and style.
