Westword was founded almost fifty years ago as an alternative to the traditional media in this city. We publish daily online and weekly in print, and we have always been free. Independent voices are more important than ever, and that’s why we need to hear from you.
To ensure that we continue serving the community, we’d like your feedback in our audience survey.
Are we telling the stories you want to read about? Are we telling stories in the places you want to read, or watch, or listen? Are we doing enough to make you take a step back and say, “This is why I fucking love Westword.”
By taking our audience survey, you’ll give us insight into what you expect (and want) from us, and we really want to hear what you have to say. Your responses will directly influence the future of Westword.
I remember in my early 20s, when I picked up my first alt-weekly. I read one story and heard the spicy tone that wasn’t afraid to talk to me like the rebellious weirdo I was. A newspaper staffed by creative and hard-hitting journalists that wasn’t afraid to say fuck? Covering bands I love? Was this real? I felt seen.
So this is our calling to all of our readers. The beautiful weirdos who love food, music, culture and news that holds power to account. Written like it was written by a friend. Our goal is to connect with you even more and help you feel seen.
In the meantime, thank you for being a part of the Westword community. Together, we can make everything from our coverage to our website, print, social media, newsletters and membership program even better.
