The Valley Midweek Marketplace is a free weekly shopper published in affiliation with the Fargo Forum.
Contents
Ancestry
The Valley Midweek Marketplace directly originated from the Midweek Eagle, a tabloid-sized free shopper published by Pioneer Press in West Fargo, North Dakota. The Midweek went through several incarnations through the 80s and 90s, printing from once a week to twice a week, adding columnists and syndicated content, dropping back to once a week, and moving towards the end of the week invalidating its 'mid-week' naming.
Affiliation with Forum Communications
In 2005 the Midweek was purchased, along with other Pioneer Press assets, by Forum Communications[1]. After the purchase, the Midweek Eagle continued to be published and distributed without much change until the summer of 2006.
Integration with the Fargo Forum
In May or June 2006[2] the Midweek was revised from a tabloid to a broadsheet size, included the same Classified categories as the Fargo Forum, and the advertisements had cross-over possibility from the Forum's classifieds.
Editor
The editor of the Valley Midweek Marketplace is Alicia Strnad, who both posts original content and mirrors her Marketplace column at her blog, the Blog Concierge. She is also the editor of AreaVoices.com, a blogging framework created by Forum Communications.
Disclaimer
I delivered the Midweek Eagle in the mid-1980s.
