Шаблон:Infobox newspaper The C-Ville Weekly is an alternative weekly newspaper distributed around Charlottesville, Virginia. Dubbing itself "Charlottesville's News & Arts Weekly," in 2001, the newspaper made over $100,000 in profits.

In 2013 C-ville Weekly and other local newspaper Charlottesville Tomorrow entered a content sharing agreement with intent to improve journalism on education.[1]

In June 2020 the newspaper laid off staff.[2] The remaining journalism team was two reporters, a part-time editor, and a budget to hire a copy editor as needed.[3][4]

History

Hawes Spencer and Bill Chapman founded the paper as a bi-weekly in 1989.

In January 2002 newspaper owners Bill Chapman and Rob Jiranek dismissed Hawes Spencer as editor of C-Ville Weekly.[5] In response Spencer and some other C-ville Weekly staff founded competing newspaper, The Hook.[5] Cathryn Harding became editor in January 2002.[6]

In 2011 the parent companies which owned C-ville Weekly and the Hook merged, re-uniting publications which had common origins.[7]

In 2018 the arts and living reporter for Cville Weekly remarked that after the 2017 Unite the Right rally, there was more community support for journalism on local people of color.[8]
