Description	Showpaper was founded in Spring 2007 by a group of musicians, artists and promoters in Queens, NY. The paper's most well-known founder is promoter Todd Patrick. The paper was founded to promote the Tri-State area D.I.Y. music and art scene, present features and interviews and foster the community. It is a free paper and currently has no advertising. Showpaper is published bi-weekly. The paper can be found in record stores, cafes and restaurants. As of Fall 2007, distribution was limited, but expanding. Showpaper also includes a growing listing of New York area all ages music events. One of the more unique facets of the paper is its "I Saw You" section. Individuals are encouraged to write in to section and say "hello" to others they have met at shows and lost touch with or even whom they've never met, but seen at several events. Showpaper is currently seeking interns with backgrounds in publishing, reporting and design.

Pros	Showpaper is run by a very lean and personable staff. The individuals in charge are personally invested in the paper's success and are extremely easy to deal with. Even though their response time isn't ideal, it's still much better than most New York-area publications. Considering the continual rise of the community around it, Showpaper is almost certain to grow. Making some strong contacts now could result in big things in the near future.
Cons	Showpaper is still functioning with a small distribution radius. This means time you spend getting in touch with them, may be taking away from time devoted to bigger publications. Showpaper has not quite figured itself out yet. At the moment, the publication is primarily a show listing. However, expansion plans are in the works.
