History

City Pulse was founded in August 2001. The editors consider the paper "alternative media" and often feature local news items ignored by the dailies. In 2008, City Pulse was accepted into the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies, a trade group that represents alternative newspapers. It also uses profanity not used by the dailies. Regarding the material covered in the paper, Schwartz, the editor and sole owner said, "I guess I've always had a passion for giving the establishment a hard time." [1]

Staff and circulation

City Pulse has seven full-time employees, plus a stable of artists and writers that contribute articles, cover art and cartoons for the paper. Employees include Schwartz; James Sanford, arts and entertainment editor; Lisa Twenter, listings editor; Vince Joy, production manager; and Andy Balaskovitz, news editor. As of November 2010, City Pulse had a circulation of over 20,000 and a readership of about 40,000. The paper is available free in over 440 locations in Lansing and throughout Ingham County.

Each year City Pulse holds the "Top of the Town" awards allowing readers to vote for their local favorites in various categories. Winners in 2010 included WDBM for best radio station and Loune for best original band.[2]
