What is "uweekly"

UWeekly is a weekly magazine, based in Columbus, Ohio, that primarily serves the central portion of Columbus and the Ohio State University community. Its first issue was published on September 21, 2005. The paper's writing staff is largely students from Ohio State, which are also its main audience; it is considered a student magazine in this regard, though it has no official affiliation with the university.

Wayne T. Lewis is the publisher and founder. Chelsea Castle is the Editor.

When UWeekly was founded in 2005, it was met with a chilly reception from Ohio State's official daily student newspaper, The Lantern, where faculty adviser Sonya Humes instituted a policy banning any members of The Lantern from writing for UWeekly. Despite this initial hostility, both publications continue to co-exist relatively peacefully on the Ohio State campus.

The sections of UWeekly include Campus News, Ohio State Sports, The Hookup (Entertainment) and Music and are included in the paper weekly. Each edition of the paper also includes an Opinion page, Instagram photos #asseenoncampus, an event calendar and a Fashion column.

In 2014, UWeekly became the country's only weekly college publication to publish in a glossy, magazine format.
