Weeklys, formerly known as Metro Newspapers, is an American media group established in 1985 and based in San Jose, California.
It publishes five free alternative weekly newspapers in Northern California: Metro Silicon Valley, Good Times, the Pacific Sun, East Bay Express and the North Bay Bohemian; and ten community newspapers: the Gilroy Dispatch, Healdsburg Tribune, the Hollister Free Lance, the King City Rustler, the Los Gatan, the Morgan Hill Times, Salinas Valley Tribune, Aptos Life, The Pajaronian and Press Banner.
Together, the publications reach a weekly audience of about half a million people, according to The Media Audit. Weeklys also operates digital publishing businesses.
