The Weekly News

The Weekly News was formed over a group breakfast on a Saturday morning on Southeast Street in Amherst, MA in January 1989. George Bush had just been inaugurated as President after eight long years of Reagan. We had been discussing the samizdat movement in the Soviet Union where the activists hand copied articles or typed them with carbon paper to reproduce them person to person. Doing this could get you in a lot of trouble but there was no way to get news the state didn’t want you to hear out any other way. We decided we were going to try to do something like that ourselves.
