We are

Chava Communications is a contemporary media, marketing, and events firm. We specialize in linking local businesses with culturally-engaged audiences through top-tier events, strategic marketing services, and independent journalism. As the parent company of Local Culture Creative and the Orlando Weekly, we are dedicated to fostering connections within our community. Orlando depends on the Orlando Weekly to navigate the who, what, where, when, and why of our city.

Seven days a week, in print and online, we’re breaking news stories; it is our tipping readers off to the latest developments in the music, food, and arts scenes; and celebrating everything – from beloved institutions to exciting up-and-comers – that makes our city such a vibrant place to live and work. And through our experience and knowledge of our community, we use the latest technology and marketing tools to help grow the businesses of our community and fund our mission to serve Orlando.

Orlando Weekly

As Orlando’s source of local culture, entertainment and news, we remain committed to our roots as a print newspaper, distributing a free publication across the city on a weekly basis. Find Orlando Weekly at your favorite local coffee shop or at Orlando Weekly booths at dozens of events throughout the year.
