    Vue Weekly - From the Vue Weekly website

    Vue Weekly

    (12 reviews)

    An independent news and entertainment magazine, Vue Weekly is one of Edmonton's few alternative…read morenews sources. You'll find issues ranging from politics and local events, to subjects like food and dining, education, and the local arts culture. The magazine takes more of a liberal stance, as its audience consists mainly of a 20-35 age demographic. The best part about Vue is their focus on the arts scene in Edmonton. Whatever is news in film, music, or performing arts, they have it covered. Find towards the back of the magazine their weekly lists of art galas, live music performances and concerts, movie and play listings, as well as plenty of reviews on new films and shows as well. There may be no funny comics section or half-naked Sunshine Girl/Boy to wake you up in the morning, but it's still a great alternative to the mainstream print media out there. Plus, it's free and you can usually find one of their magazine dispensers around town, especially around campus.

    Vue Weekly is another good news paper that focuses majorly on the local art scene or new movies and…read moremusic. What I really like about the paper is the authors. They aren't afraid to have opinions when they right their articles and it doesn't feel as if they are censoring themselves. Some other papers just display the facts without giving any real opinion on what is going on, but Vue has a backbone. It gets risky when it needs too. I still think See is a bit better when it comes to talking about local events but Vue is a great read and not bad to browse through.

    Metro News Edmonton

    This newspaper deserves a lot more credit than it gets. I stumbled across The Metro by mistake. I…read morewas on the bus and the person sitting next to me left his paper behind. With print going into decline thanks to the Internet, the Metro is the only newspaper in Edmonton that I feel has merged the two mediums together. I think of it as a Digital-Print Magazine. They plug in highlights from their social media outlets (like Twitter feeds) into sidebars on the newspaper, which I find useful since I use Twitter very often. If you want to take the paper along with you without physically carrying the paper, you can use your smart phone to scan the QR Code (kind of like a barcode) that let's you access a particular section of the newspaper instantly from your cellphone. I think that's pretty neat. You can also download and view the day's newspaper from their website as well, if you like. I like the articles they write, too. They all seemed very relevant and I could relate to them very easily. Lots of good tech news as well.

    Metro is another free "newspaper" here in Edmonton. And like Francesca said, I don't think anyone…read morewould actually pay for it anyways. The Metro is disappointing. The articles are nothing of real interest. I don't even really see the point of this newspaper. With papers like Vue Weekly and See Magazine, I don't understand how Metro survives. I have also seen the pages of Metro littering our streets and numerous public restaurants and coffee shops. But I've never seen anyone actually reading one of them. I think that people like the idea of the free paper but once they pick it up, they are grossly disappointed.

    Unfortunately, 24 Hours does not give a 24 hour picture of Edmonton. In fact, I don't think it…read morerepresents our city at all - at least not well. I don't like this paper, it's like the Metro. Both are useless and provide no real substance or value to readers (and that's saying a lot because both of them are free). The articles are sub par and the information provided by 24 is mediocre at best. Te only thing that this paper is good for is killing 5 minutes on the bus or fire kindling at a summer BBQ.

    I looked over this magazine because there was a stack in Subway the other day. I don't really like…read morepicking up these so called magazines because the information is rarely interesting or relevant. Alas, I had no book, no magazine, no Edmonton Journal, so this was (not really) the next best thing. So why do I hate 24 Hours so much? It is pointless. It has very little information. I would say on average, it has maybe 50 articles through weekly the entire paper. Fifty! There are small blurbs on celebrities and this is really the only part I read. Other than that, the stories are not very up to date and show no real urgency. These papers, like other failing free magazines (Metro News) are floating around the city pointlessly. There are stacks and stacks of these papers laying around, and they will continue to lay around because they are not interesting to read. Sure. Pick one up to distract yourself while munching down on that turkey and ham sub, but don't go looking for them. Even if you did, they are easy to find because they are everywhere!
