''Maui Time Weekly'' (also known as ''Maui Time Magazine'', ''Maui Time'', and the ''Maui Times'') is a free alternative newspaper published weekly in the county of Maui, state of Hawaii. The paper is owned mostly by its publisher, Tommy Russo. ''Maui Time Weekly'' was launched in 1997. It serves all of Maui, and is distributed every Thursday. The paper has remained independently owned and operated throughout its existence. == History == Begun as a free bi-weekly newsprint magazine, Maui Time offered a combination of music, sports, arts and community features, as well as Maui's first true entertainment calendar. The paper was born out of necessity and opportunity by (Tommy Russo ) and Mark D'Antonio. Russo noted the lack of a strong community-based publication while travelling on Maui. At the time he was completing degree studies at Chico State University building a strong sales background in print media during his employment with a local paper in Chico, California. He teamed up with classmate D'Antonio after D'Antonio's music group, ''Sunset Red'' concluded two tours of Lahaina in 1996. Within a year, the two Chico, California transplants moved to Maui to start an independent community publication. ''Maui Time'' established a free and independent voice to represent the wide variety of views, opinions, lifestyles, and rich host culture that Maui offers. Publisher Tommy Russo grew ''Maui Time'' into a weekly publication with Maui news, community features, arts and entertainment as its focus. Maui Time gained admission into the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies in 2004. After four years as Editor-in-Chief and Art Director, (Mark D'Antonio ) left the publication to return to a career in music and design. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maui Time Weekly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
