}}'''''Atlantic City Weekly''''' (previously '''''Whoot!''''') was a free weekly newspaper in [[Atlantic City, New Jersey]] that ran from 1974 until 2023. It covered articles on news, entertainment, casinos and gambling, dining, real estate, sports, movies, and nightlife. It also featured photographs capturing scenes from Atlantic City.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The newspaper was founded in 1974 under the name ''Whoot!'' by Lewis B. Steiner and his parents, Herb and Marcia Steiner, while Lewis was a junior at [[Stockton College]] in [[Pomona, New Jersey]].<ref>{{cite news |title=About Us |url=https://atlanticcityweekly.com/site/about.html |access-date=16 October 2020 |work=Atlantic City Weekly}}</ref> Herb served as the feature editor until his death in 1989, after which Marcia assumed the role of editor and food reviewer until her death in 1998. Lewis' wife, Christine Steiner, whom he married in 1981, served as the office manager.{{Citation needed|date=April 2024}}<br />

The newspaper covered the Atlantic City nightlife prior to the popularized casino scene of the present. As the city underwent a period of economic growth, Lewis Steiner (henceforth referred to as "Steiner") began recording videos of local entertainment in the casinos as well as interviews with celebrities and locals. The videos were an integral part of the newspaper's website, as well as on Steiner's [[YouTube]] account.{{Citation needed|date=April 2024}}<br />

== Acquisition and closure ==<br />
In 2000, Review Publishing LP of Philadelphia acquired the newspaper, making it a sister publication to the ''[[Philadelphia Weekly]].'' Subsequently, it underwent a name change to ''Atlantic City Weekly'' and adopted a similar format. Steiner continued his roles as founder, sales manager, and publisher, while the editorial team included Jeff Schwachter as editor, Lori Hoffman and Ray Schweibert as associate editors, and Craig Billow as art director.{{Citation needed|date=April 2024}}<br />

In 2015, Review Publishing sold its newspapers, and ''Atlantic City Weekly'' was acquired by [[BH Media]], the parent company of ''[[The Press of Atlantic City]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BH Media Group Acquires Atlantic City Weekly |url=http://www.dirksvanessen.com/press_releases/view/186/bh-media-group-acquires-atlant/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180708133336/http://www.dirksvanessen.com/press_releases/view/186/bh-media-group-acquires-atlant/ |archive-date=2018-07-08 |access-date=2015-04-26 |work=Dirks, Van Essen & Murray}}</ref><br />
