Unlike these metropolitan newspapers, a weekly newspaper will cover a smaller area, such as one or more smaller towns or an entire county. Most weekly newspapers follow a similar format as daily newspapers (i.e., news, sports, family news, obituaries). However, the primary focus is on news from the publication's coverage area.
