| Austin, Texas is a distinctively vital,
creative, and diverse community in the
heart of the Lone Star State, a place
where politics, arts, and culture are as
elemental as air, water, and the big Texas
sky. The Austin Chronicle is the
keen-eyed and eloquent voice of that city,
expressing the community's political and
environmental concerns, and exploring
and supporting Austin's active cultural
scene. Now in its 26th year, the Chronicle has
grown to a weekly readership of more
than 443,400 in the Austin metropolitan
area, publishing approximately 144
tabloid-size pages a week. Between the
covers, we offer incisive political
coverage, discerning and informed
cultural reporting and commentary.
The Chronicle not only reflects the
heart and soul of the community it serves
in its editorial pages; it also puts its
muscle where its mouth is by sponsoring
such events as the South by Southwest
(SXSW) Music & Media Conference, Film
Conference, and Multimedia Festival, and
presenting the annual Austin Music
Awards Show and the Austin Hot Sauce
Contest (the world's largest), along with
countless other promotional events. |
