The San Antonio Current is a free weekly alternative newspaper in
The Current carries some nationally syndicated columns, including Savage Love, Free Will Astrology, Jonesin' crosswords, and ¡Ask a Mexican!, in addition to several local columns. The paper also publishes a popular yearly "Best of San Antonio" issue, which invites readers to vote for their favorite food, media, and culture in the San Antonio area. The annual issue employs a Highlander "There can be only one!" deliberation method, meaning that chain restaurants, for example, have to be delineated by location. As of January 2019, the Current has a biweekly circulation of approximately 41,000[citation needed]. It is distributed every Wednesday at more than 1,000 locations citywide.[2]
The Current was founded in 1986 by Linda Matys O'Connell and husband Geoff O'Connell.[3] After having several different owners in the 1990s, the paper was sold in 2000 to Times-Shamrock Communications and then to Euclid Media Group in December 2013.[4] The company dissolved in August 2023 and four of the newspapers were sold to Chava Communications, an entity created by Michael Wagner and his wife, Cassandra Yardeni Wagner.[5]
