Uptown (newspaper)

Uptown (newspaper)

"Uptown" is an alternative weekly arts and entertainment newspaper in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Like most alternative weekly newspapers in Canada, "Uptown" includes articles regarding the arts and entertainment, CD reviews, concert reviews, book reviews and extensive current events listings. However, unlike others in its genre (such as "Now Magazine", "Voir" and the "Georgia Straight"), "Uptown" generally does not provide any substantial coverage of current issues events apart from occasional columns concerning local news.

"Uptown" originated as an independent newspaper, and its existence has at times been precarious. Briefly in the 1990s, it published a second newspaper, Uptown 2. Most recently, "Uptown" faced a challenge from several competing alternative weeklies during the late 1990s, most notably from "Perimeter" magazine which put forth an admirable fight, but it emerged as the sole survivor. "Uptown" was purchased in 2005 by FP Newspapers, owners of the "Winnipeg Free Press". Little about Uptown has changed since the acquisition, except for a relocation from its previous Exchange District offices to the suburban St. James area.
