SCHAFFNERJAMES BARTHPHILL NIBLOCKHAPPY THE MAN performance reviewThe SoHo Weekly News was a weekly alternative newspaper founded by music publicist Michael Goldstein and published in New York City from 1973 to 1982. Positioned as a competitor to The Village Voice, it struggled financially. The paper was purchased by Associated Newspaper Group in 1979 and shut down three years later when AMG was unable to make it profitable. Many of the staff went on to have illustrious careers at other New York publications.
The paper was known for its coverage of the Manhattan\'s SoHo neighborhood, which at the time was just starting to become fashionable. Although the official editorial stance was anti-gentrification, there have been arguments made that its coverage of local culture and business actually contributed to the upward trend in property values. Coverage of emerging music acts in local venues was particularly strong, with the paper being particular well known for its early coverage of the Ramones.
As described by Allan Wolper, The Soho Weekly News was a journalistic outlier that attracted cutting edge writers, artists, directors, and critics who chronicled the hip, edgy, cultural landscape of the seventies.The late David Bowie, who spent much of his time in Soho and eventually moved there, said The Soho Weekly News had been “the encyclopedia of the seventies.”Issues of the Soho Weekly News are hard to come by in any condition.
