The Independent Weekly, established in September 2004, is an independent newspaper published and circulated in Adelaide, capital of South Australia. The newspaper is released weekly on Saturdays to a readership of thirty nine thousand.
The Independent Weekly often features articles of critical and intellectual substance, especially with regard to local issues, and is a champion of the Arts in Adelaide. Its international coverage is sourced largely from The Washington Post, the LA Times and The Independent.
The newspaper launched an online subscriber daily news service called Indaily on the anniversary of its first year in operation. Indaily is emailed free to more than 10,000 subscribers and includes the day's news, short snippets of "Insider" news and daily music, film, theatre, arts and book reviews and listings of events in Adelaide.
In March 2006, The Independent Weekly switched to a tabloid format and moved its release from Sunday to Saturday. Publisher Paul Hamra took on the reins as acting editor, changing the structure of the organisation from utilising a full staff of reporters to using contributors and articles sourced from Fairfax, AFP and The Independent in London.
