''Now'' (styled as ''NOW''), also known as ''Now Magazine'', is a free alternative weekly newspaper in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was first printed on September 10, 1981 by Michael Hollett and Alice Klein. ''Now'' is an alternative weekly mixing arts and entertainment news with political coverage. Editorially, it strongly favours the New Democratic Party (NDP) politically. Independent and privately owned by Hollett and Klein, ''Now'' is published 52 times a year. The publication can be picked up in cafes, variety stores, clothing outlets, restaurants, alternative movie venues and in its green and red newspaper boxes. ''Now'' is published every Thursday. ''Now'' has been online since 1993, first as now.com and then as nowtoronto.com since 2000. The ''Now'' site hosts a video channel, NowTube, daily blog postings, and podcasts. In August 2009 ''Now'' launched its first smartphone application, a restaurant guide based on the publication’s N rating system. Other applications are in development. The ''Toronto Star'' launched ''Eye Weekly'' in 1991 as a competitor to ''Now'', although ''Now'' consistently remained the more widely read publication and ''Eye Weekly'' folded in 2011. It is also a central sponsor and its owners hold an ownership stake in North by Northeast, a major annual music festival in Toronto. ==Content== Syndicated content in ''Now'' includes Dan Savage's "Savage Love" sex advice column and Rob Brezsny's "Real Astrology".
