The Westerly Sun

The Providence Phoenix was a prominent arts and counterculture publication in Providence, RI, known for its extensive coverage of stories and viewpoints that were often overlooked by other newspapers in the area. It was part of the larger Phoenix Media Communications Group, which also included publications in Boston, Miami, Worcester, and Portland. Founded in 1993 as The Providence Phoenix, the publication ran for nearly thirty years before its final publication in October 2014. The Phoenix Media Communications Group also expanded its holdings to include other magazines such as Stuff Magazine and launched a Spanish-language weekly called El Planeta. However, the company sold off some of its publications over the years, including The Portland Phoenix, which was sold to the Portland News Club LLC in 2014.Generated from the website
