OC Weekly, a sister publication of both LA Weekly and The Village Voice, is a free weekly paper (an alternative weekly) distributed in Orange County, California and also in Long Beach. Its political coverage is generally progressive.[citation needed]

The paper has strong coverage of the follies and foibles of local politicians from both political parties, but especially local Republicans. It routinely criticizes George W. Bush and local Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona. It also carries liberal cartoons, such as Tom Tomorrow's "This Modern World."

Among the most popular columns include "¡Ask a Mexican!" by Gustavo Arellano, which is now in syndication, and the award-winning investigative work of R. Scott Moxley and Nick Schou. The Weekly's articles have resulted in FBI arrests, helped free an innocent man from prison and exposed the relationship between the local sheriff and an organized crime associate.

It can be picked up in many coffee shops, bookstores, convenience stores, boxes on the street, etc.

The OC Weekly takes pride in its art and entertainment listings for both Orange and Los Angeles counties, rivaling the larger Orange County Register and Los Angeles Times.

Since the OC Weekly is a free paper, it must rely upon its advertising revenue. Besides their ads for hip clothing stores, restaurants and nightclubs are ones for cosmetic surgery, erotica and massage services.
