Re: small newspapers

is Hawaii Hard Drive still publishing? We don't get it out here on the Big Island

Re: small newspapers

Is the North Shore News still putting out a print edition? I'll add that to the small newspaper list if it is still around.

Other small papers long gone:

Hawaii Hard Drive
Hawaii Record Bulletin
Hawaii Kai Sun Press
Windward Sun Press

Well, if we're going to Sunbums and school newsletters, don't forget there was once a shortlived little rag called University aVenue! Just something a few pesky kids launched at UH a while back...

Re: small newspapers

And there's stuff like Ka Nu'Pepa and West Hawaii Today. What about ethnics like Hawaii Hochi?

And don't forget the right wing extremist newspaper: Hawaii Free Press.

Re: small newspapers

Getting back to "small" newspapers, here are the ones that I am aware of. Many are specialty papers and target a niche audience:

Honolulu Weekly
Hawaii Island Journal
Mahagony
Hawaii Catholic Herald
Hawaii Filipino Chronicle
Hamakua Times
Ka Wai Ola

I'm almost afraid to include Pacific Business News here because they are part of a larger national chain now. But then again, they are a weekly and tabloid sized, so I guess they are also small.

Where do college newspapers fit into this? Ka Leo anyone?

I think if you go smaller than tabloid size with an even smaller niche audience, the publication will fall into the category of "newsletter"? Then there are many here. And what is a "zine"?

Small papers that are no longer with us:

Downtown Planet

Sunbums (long gone many moons ago)

I would consider the dailies "large" papers as well as MidWeek since it is owned by the same firm that publishes the Star-Bulletin. This I guess would also apply to the neighbor island dailies such as The Maui News and Hawaii Tribune Herald.

Anyone care to add to this list go ahead.

Our staff size is less than that of some restaurants, so, yeah, we're a (relatively) small outfit. We still win more awards than the Advertiser, but that's not a reflection of staff size.
