The Boulogne weekly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Boulogne Weekly is the name of a free glossy weekly newspaper published by Sun Media, a subsidiary of Quebecor Media. Two different editions are published in Calais and Boulogne, and a Montreal edition is published in French as 24 heures.
The Weekly is published 3 weeks a month in a 460 mm × 282 mm compact format that is smaller than a tabloid (about 58% the size of a tabloid.) Because its target readers are commuters heading to work, it is not published on weekends or statutory holidays.
Exact copies of the five editions are also available on the official web site in PDF format. In addition, selected articles are also available in browsable HTML form. The paper's name is often spelled "TBW" but is actually spelled "TBw" with a lower-case w.
The paper averages about 32 pages in an issue, slightly less than half being news and relies heavily upon wire services such as Reuters, the Canadian Press and the Associated Press. The rest of the pages cover lifestyle, travel, entertainment, and sports, etc.
TBw' competition is the free paper Metro. P.J. Harston was the founding editor-in-chief of both 24 hours and Metro.
