City Beat is my favorite print media weekly newspaper in the city. It is the best source for cool…read moreevents, happenings, and resources. It's also a large resource for the growing arts community in Cincinnati. The paper has a liberal voice in such a heavy conservative community. The listings of events, performances, auditions, and other opportunities is extensive and never misses a beat. They occasionally have special editions devoted to green initiatives, dining editions, a women's issue, and issues about current events. Some of the columns are syndicated and also appear in the alternative news in other large cities. However, most of them are locally written. I have to admit that sometimes I just do the crossword even though it's a great paper.

A few weeks ago I really enjoyed an article about the different ways to commute to work as I'm considering my options with the current gas prices. Then this past week there was a whole Fringe Festival edition of the paper. They always have interesting staff questions of the week and really make a point to have the staff be really visible to the readers. It's a great alternative paper to City Beat and the Enquirer. It picks up where they left off nicely. Also the crossword puzzle is always fun yet a challenge!

I find this magazine quite interested as to how it relates to my job. I work in development in the arts so putting names to faces for the Cincinnati arts VIP's is good for me to do. I do, however, wonder what use it gives to the average Cincinnatian as it is quite chock filled of just pictures of people. It is really interesting to see all that goes on in our community when it comes to arts and community service organizations. I saw pictures of benefits for organizations that I didn't know existed but now I do. There were even pictures of the gala at my organization which was before I started working but I thought was pretty neato! So pick up a copy and explore!

I have picked it up a few times because I am a print media fan, but I have yet to find some piece of news that I can't live without. Because it encompasses more than one month, there are always some announcements of events that have already occurred by the time I pick up an issue. Beyond that, I think most of the articles are written in the same tone. I do enjoy the ads, however.

Cincinnati Magazine impressed me when I first picked up a copy. It appears to be such a well made…read moreand classy magazine! All of their advertisements are for local businesses in the greater Cincinnati area. I notice a good deal of jewelry store and boutique advertisements. The magazine often has special themes aimed at the city and city issues. Last December there was a great issue that listed the "Best of the City". The best ice cream, piercings, food, jewelry, active life, and much more! It's a great magazine to have to find out about places you've never heard of before. I've found out about several restaurants that I ended up really enjoying.

I'm glad to find out from Karina M's review that the subscription price is decent because the issue price of $4.95 is too pricey, I think. I like it best when I can pick it up somewhere and look at it for free....like a business or bookstore! Even if it's an older issue, I enjoy flipping through it since the city's still new to me! Maybe I'll try the subscription route and update my review then!

The Boone County Recorder appeals to the voyeur in me. Every Thursday, I pick up the rag to find…read moreout who's been arrested, who's getting married, and who's getting foreclosed on. It's really my guilty pleasure. I'm pretty happy with some of the recent format changes to the paper. Now, the newspaper is divided into two main sections: news and life/entertainment. I use the term "news" loosely, because we're not talking hard hitting journalism here. Pretty much just informative articles about county government happenings and other local civic activities. The "Life" section of the paper is filled with human interest puff pieces, but when you know the people who are featured the stories become more engaging. I wouldn't really recommend this paper to someone who was from out of town, since so much of the content is directed toward residents. If you like to go to garage sales (which is another of my voyeuristic guilty pleasures), the Recorder contains the listings for all Community Press newspapers in Greater Cincinnati. Overall, the Recorder isn't going to win any Pulitzer prizes but it's the number one choice for keeping tabs on your neighbors.

It has some interesting feature articles from time to time, but not the overall appeal of Cin Weekly or City Beat.

The paper also has events pages and I like the short Q&A of a downtown employee or resident. I think recently they changed it up to feature a male and female each issue.
