A Good Looking Head Count
Few media have such natural overlap of viewer demographics. Quite simply, Phoenix readers are the Web. Educated. Active. Info-hungry. These affluent and computer-savvy young consumers use our site to plan their social week. And unlike other sites, this one benefits from the power of the Phoenix's base of over 500,000 readers. Our in-paper promo support brings in the heads.

Dead Air Ain't Our Thing
More sites. Less info. That's been the knock on the Web over the past year, a trend we delighted in blowing to bits. The Phoenix site, winner of numerous design and content awards, is a destination site. Your message will rotate through our site, appearing along with arts, entertainment, restaurant, lifestyle, and over 90% of the content from that week's Phoenix reproduced online. No fluff.


No Sacred Cows: Editorial With Opinions
The Phoenix pioneered the model of an alternative newsweekly, and for thirty years has been a standard by which others are judged. A Pulitzer prize. Press awards too numerous to count. Recognition for honest reporting with a different point of view; culture, politics, lifestyles. A reputation both earned and counted on. Rest assured our commitment to that mission won't waver as we move into this new medium.
