SoHo Weekly News stock certificate

The SoHo Weekly News was a weekly alternative newspaper published in New York City from 1973 to 1982, competing with The Village Voice. The paper struggled financially, was sold in 1979, and ceased publication three years later. It was known for its coverage of the Manhattan neighborhood of SoHo as the area was becoming gentrified, and for its highlighting of emerging music acts (especially punk bands) in local venues. Although the official editorial stance was anti-gentrification, one retrospective argued that its coverage of local culture and business contributed to the upward trend in property values. Many of the staff went on to have distinguished careers after the paper shut down: Bill Cunningham spent decades at The New York Times as a photojournalist, Allan Tannenbaum became known for his coverage of rock musicians, and Bruce Weber got his start photographing male fashion models with an influential photo story showing an underwear-clad male model in erotic poses.
