Houston Press

From Free net encyclopedia

The Houston Press is an alternative weekly newspaper published in Houston, Texas. The paper is supported entirely by advertising revenue and is free to readers. The newspaper's website claims a weekly readership of more than 300,000.

The Houston Press is one of the few alternatives to the mainstream Houston Chronicle.

Despite the Houston Press' noted leftist slant, it has garnered attention from conservative readers unsatisfied with Houston's only daily newspaper, Houston Chronicle. The Houston Press took some knocks for the dismissal of longtime political reporter Tim Fleck, and struggles to maintain hard-earned credibility for political journalism not found in other local media sources.
