Honolulu Weekly
Honolulu Weekly was an alternative weekly newspaper published in Honolulu, [[Hawaii|HawaiTemplate:Okinai]]. Founded by Laurie V. Carlson, it began publishing in the summer of 1991, ostensibly to fill gaps in investigative reporting left by the two main dailies, Honolulu Star-Bulletin and The Honolulu Advertiser, which were under a joint operating agreement at the time, but creating new gaps in taste and perspective. In May 2005 the Weekly acquired the Kona-based Hawaii Island Journal.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The Hawaii Island Journal published its last issue on Friday, June 13, 2008. The Honolulu Weekly published its final issue on June 5, 2013, and ceased operations.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Publisher Carlson cited low ad revenues and the failure to find a buyer as among the primary reasons for shutting the paper down.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
