The Orlando Weekly is an alternative newsweekly distributed in the Greater Orlando area of Florida. It features local news, views, arts, entertainment, local music coverage, an events calendar and classifieds. With several awards from the [Association of Alternative News Weeklies],[1] and the Society of Professional Journalists, many have recognized the paper's record of editorial excellence. In recent years, the paper has also been critical of the anti-homeless laws passed in Orlando [2], the 2007 venues deal [3], Florida Gov. Rick Scott and the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation (a local multi-agency vice unit). In 2007, the MBI staged a raid that arrested three advertising agents for "supporting prostitution:" the paper considers this act retaliation for past negative coverage of the agency [4].

On Feb. 27, 2008, the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation dropped all charges in the criminal case. Agreement with MBI

The Orlando Weekly organizes an annual feature Best of Orlando issue that features the best places to eat, best music acts, best arts, etc. [2][3]
