The C-Ville Weekly is an alternative weekly newspaper distributed around Charlottesville, Virginia. Dubbing itself "Charlottesville's News & Arts Weekly," in 2001, the newspaper made over $100,000 in profits.
In 2013 C-ville Weekly and other local newspaper Charlottesville Tomorrow entered a content sharing agreement with intent to improve journalism on education. [3]
In June 2020 the newspaper laid off staff. [4] The remaining journalism team was two reporters, a part-time editor, and a budget to hire a copy editor as needed. [5] [6]
Hawes Spencer and Bill Chapman founded the paper as a bi-weekly in 1989.
In January 2002 newspaper owners Bill Chapman and Rob Jiranek dismissed Hawes Spencer as editor of C-Ville Weekly. [7] In response Spencer and some other C-ville Weekly staff founded competing newspaper, The Hook. [7] Cathryn Harding became editor in January 2002. [8]
