The Monterey County Weekly (formerly the Coast Weekly) is a locally-owned and independent newspaper founded in 1988.
Reaching nearly one in three households countywide, the Weekly has the highest circulation of any newspaper in the county and has won over 75+ local, regional, state or national editorial awards. While the reporting is nearly entire local, Monterey County Weekly was the only newspaper in the alternative press to send a reporter to the middle east to cover both the Desert Storm war in the early '90s and the Iraq war in early 2003.
The Weekly was the first newspaper to go online in the county, starting in 1996.
The Mission of the organization is to inspire independent thinking and conscious action, etc.
