Alternative newspapers including LA Weekly and the Village Voice are reclaiming their role as the go-to sources for recommended local events, restaurants, and bars.

Parent company Voice Media Group has launched a redesigned mobile app for these and 9 other markets that can go head-to-head with Yelp.

Designed to be a pocket-sized resource for what’s fun and what’s happening now in your city, the app makes event listings, local food and drink reviews searchable on an iPhone or iPad.

The publishers took the readers’ advice and added news and other fresh stories, said Voice Media Group director of content Stacy Volhein, so the digital versions of the alternative weeklies will still have the entertainment value of the print editions.
