Houston Press
Founded in 1989, this alternative newsweekly provides in-depth investigative reporting, cultural commentary, and comprehensive coverage of Houston’s music, arts, and dining scenes. It serves a broad urban audience by offering a distinct, independent perspective on local politics and community lifestyle beyond the scope of traditional mainstream dailies.
MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN HOUSTON
Anchored by a single dominant daily broadsheet, the metropolitan print market relies on one major publication alongside a secondary tier of ethnic, business, and collegiate papers. The Hearst-owned Houston Chronicle leads the region with a daily circulation exceeding 360,000, while the Houston Business Journal provides corporate and financial reporting. Supplemental coverage comes from the Houston Forward Times, a historic weekly serving the African American community, and student-run campus outlets like the Rice Thresher. Paperboy lists 11 newspapers in Houston.
