Austin Chronicle via Ruxton Media Group

It's all about community. More than 300,000 locals depend on the Austin Chronicle each week to negotiate the who, what, when & why of our city. Seven days a week, in print & online, we're breaking news stories, tipping readers off to the latest developments in the music, food, and arts scenes, and celebrating everything - from beloved institutions to exciting up-and-comers - that makes our city such a vibrant place to live and work.

Austin has also become a destination for internationally lauded music & film festivals, including South by Southwest Festival, which was first conceived in our office by the founders of the Austin Chronicle. The Chronicle is the official print sponsor of SXSW and is unparalleled in its comprehensive, authoritative coverage. Of course, we're not just a newspaper - we're a member of the community. In addition to our marquee annual events like the Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival (the world's largest) and the Austin Music Awards, the Chronicle regularly partners with local businesses - to host film series, candidate forums, sports events, music festivals and much more.
