Originally the newspaper was a bi-weekly newspaper called NuCity, but changed its name due to a similar Chicago newspaper entitled Newcity.

The newspaper and website were members of the Association of Alternative Newsmedia as well as the National Newspaper Association.

The Weekly Alibi is closed; its last edition was published in late August, 2020.
