Florida Weekly is one of the largest circulating newsweeklies in Florida, with more than 90,000 papers in Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Brevard, and Palm Beach counties reaching more than 180,000 readers in print and online each week. We provide intelligent, serious journalism via in-depth features, studies and reporting that provides an alternative, independent voice. Coverage includes news, entertainment, health, the arts, business, automotive and real estate.

The typical Florida Weekly reader is 39-69 years of age, a college graduate (some with advanced degrees), sophisticated and active, with a home worth $300,000 or more. Family household income exceeds $110,000. Our readers travel at least twice each year (one major trip) and prefer upscale restaurants, entertainment and culture. This demographic includes many business professionals (CEOs, upper management, owners, general managers or directors, employed or retired), who invest in real estate and have strong relationships with local, state and federal government leaders. Readers also include the "leisure class": persons with time and freedom to enjoy the "good life" of dining, shopping, playing and entertaining.
