Arkansas Times To Transition From A Weekly Newspaper To A Monthly Magazine

Arkansas Times

The presence of one central Arkansas media entity is changing. The Arkansas Times – which for more than 25 years has been a weekly publication – will transition in February to a glossy monthly magazine.

It was originally a monthly when it debuted in 1974, but after the closing of the Arkansas Gazette 26 years ago, became a weekly to provide timely coverage.

Alan Leveritt is publisher of the Times and spoke with KUAR about the impending change.

Michael Hibblen was a journalist for KUAR News from May 2009 — December 2022. During his final 10 years with the station, he served as News Director. In January 2023, he was hired by Arkansas PBS to become its Senior Producer/ Director of Public Affairs.
