The Apparently Times, Gainesville’s Factually Optional Newspaper
A satirical publication serving invented news with an unusually specific Gainesville flavor.
Field notes
The homepage uses a newspaper-style section structure, with each item combining a headline, location, and short satirical dispatch. Its eight visible pieces move between technology, culture, education, weather, business, religion, and the paper’s own newsroom. The publication identifies the issue as Volume 1, Number 2 and offers an RSS link, while its disclaimer makes the fictional status explicit. Local texture appears in references to Gainesville, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and the Publix parking lot.
