C-Ville Weekly

C-VILLE Weekly is an alternative weekly newspaper distributed around Charlottesville, Virginia. Dubbing itself "Charlottesville's News & Arts Weekly," in 2001, the newspaper made over $100,000 in profits.
In 2013 C-VILLE Weekly and other local news outlet Charlottesville Tomorrow entered a content sharing agreement with intent to improve journalism on education.
In June 2020 the newspaper laid off staff. The remaining journalism team was two reporters, a part-time editor, and a budget to hire a copy editor as needed.
