Re: So what's up with the Weekly?
Honolulu Weekly has reasonable prospects as an online publication, but staying in print is tough. I got the sense a while back that newsweeklies and tabloids like Honolulu Weekly (or Midweek and the like) were actually better bets than dailies, but still... dead tree delivery is on its way out.
I like the suggestion that Honolulu Weekly and Civil Beat could merge... or, realistically, that Civil Beat could just absorb what's left of the Weekly. After all, a lot of the things that are outside Civil Beat's wheelhouse are where the Weekly carved it's niche. The Weekly could basically become Civil Beat's arts, culture, and feature arm.
