A number of other weekly and monthly publications (most of which are fully supported by advertising) are also available. The most prominent of these is Village Voice Media's "City Pages", the alternative weekly. (2002 newcomer "The Rake" offered some competition in the form of a free monthly, but ceased publication in 2008.) "Pulse of the Twin Cities" is another weekly which has less advertising and more coverage of local music and activism. "La Matraca News" is a Spanish Language Weekly print and online publication.
