If you\u2019re reading this, we at Phoenix New Times know you\u2019re probably already a fan (and, believe me, the feeling is mutual). But unless you\u2019re checking our homepage a few times each day or frantically refreshing your social feeds for our posts like some kind of local internet hero, you\u2019re probably missing some of our best reads. <\/p>\n
While we have a few newsletters for you to subscribe to<\/a>, we don\u2019t have a dedicated newsletter for our news coverage<\/a>. Until now.<\/p>\n To help you stay informed, we\u2019re launching just that \u2014 a weekly newsletter to keep you updated on the news, produced by our reporters and editors. We hope that you subscribe<\/a>. It\u2019s free and it\u2019s going to rock.<\/p>\n Sign up for our latest newsletter, loaded with breaking news and our finest reporting<\/p>\n THANK YOU!<\/p>\n You\u2019re all set.<\/p>\n CLOSE\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n You\u2019ve known New Times since the early \u201970s<\/a> as a relentlessly aggressive news outlet. During that time, the paper at turns has employed just about every sort of news reporter readers could want in their corner: feared muckrakers, unapologetic wiseasses, dogged investigators, deadline poets. In their own way, they\u2019re all working toward the same goal. They\u2019re trying to make Phoenix a better, more interesting place to live.<\/p>\n Over the years, those reporters collectively helped to steer the course of an emerging American megalopolis. (Phoenix was the 20th-largest city in the country in 1970; today, Phoenix is fifth. We did our part.) New Times reporters have won just about every print journalism award of note in Arizona and the country. They\u2019ve rankled advertisers, chagrined their editors \u2014 and made every story count for you, the reader, even as the internet pushed us to expand from print into pixels.<\/p>\n These days our print paper<\/a> holds just a handful of the news stories we publish. In a typical week we publish about 60 stories online, a quarter of those in our news section. Readers lucky enough to pick up a physical copy in the Valley still get our signature mix of news, culture, music and restaurant coverage. This newsletter is meant to collect our finest work for readers who want to keep up with breaking stories in the Valley, or just enjoy a great yarn.<\/p>\n A newsletter curated by our news editor<\/p>\n Starting in November (once we hit our subscriber goal of 500), each Thursday, New Times news editor Zach Buchanan<\/a> will select his favorites from among our freshest stories for you to read.<\/p>\n Sometimes these stories will be bangers, the stories that tens of thousands of people read. Examples of late could include such hits as: our scoop on the Q-Anon shaman\u2019s $40 trillion (sic) lawsuit<\/a> against the Trump administration, or our scoop that a student at Arizona State University is suing fraternity members she alleges filmed her during sex and disseminated the video<\/a> as part of an organized hazing rite for frat pledges.<\/p>\n Other times, we\u2019ll be surfacing stories for you that we simply loved and don\u2019t want you to miss. We might include Stephen Lemons<\/a> on the crime beat, revealing to a bereaved family that the man who allegedly got away with killing their son<\/a> may now be in prison for a separate murder. Or we might bring you inside the service at a Valley megachurch, the Sunday after Charlie Kirk\u2019s death, that presented parishioners with an AI-rendered manifestation of Kirk<\/a> and promised his opponents: \u201cYou\u2019ve just unleashed the dragon!\u201d<\/p>\n
