"UWeekly" is a weekly newspaper, based in Columbus, Ohio, that primarily serves the central portion of Columbus and the Ohio State University community. Its first issue was published on September 21, 2005. The paper's writing staff is largely comprised of students from Ohio State, which is also its main audience; it is considered a student newspaper in this regard, though it has no official affiliation with the university.

Wayne T. Lewis is the publisher, founder and chief operating officer, and Michael A. Riches is the general manager. [http://uweekly.com/about UWeekly Staff List] at uweekly.com]

When "UWeekly" was founded in 2005, it was met with a chilly reception from Ohio State's official daily student newspaper, The Lantern, where faculty adviser Sonya Humes instituted a policy banning any members of The Lantern from writing for "UWeekly".

The sections of the "UWeekly" include News, Sports, The Hookup (Entertainment) and Music and are included in the paper daily. Each edition of the paper also includes an Opinion page, Bar Starz (photographs of locals spotted at Columbus bars and restaurants), and a Fashion Police column, criticizing the clothing of local residents.

"UWeekly" is 40 pages long, except during the summer, when publication drops to 32 pages.
