Snitch Newsweekly (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Snitch was a free, alternative weekly newspaper published in parts of the United States covering crime and police news. Perhaps the most notable feature was the ZIP Code Crime Watch, which gave brief, usually "smart aleck" commentary on literally hundreds of items in the weekly police blotter, broken down by ZIP Codes, along with crime totals for the respective areas. Snitch also ran numerous crime-themed articles in each issue, as well as advertisements and classifieds. Snitch was started in Louisville, Kentucky and the Media Audit showed 211,000 readers as of January 2005. There were also editions of the paper in Lexington, Kentucky, Savannah, Georgia, San Diego, California, South Carolina and Northern Kentucky. In December 2004 the parent company, a venture capital firm named Prosperitas, pulled out of the concept, and the Louisville edition was sold to Tim Woodburn, who owned the Lexington edition.
