A newspaper or magazine that is published once a week. Often these are local advertising papers that are distributed for free.

The word consists of 'Woche' (week), the linking '-n-', and 'Blatt' (paper/sheet). Here, 'Blatt' can mean 'paper' or 'newspaper'. So it is literally a paper that appears weekly.

'Wochenzeitung' and 'Wochenblatt' can both mean a newspaper that is published once a week. The difference is often in usage and typical content. A 'Wochenzeitung' sounds more like a newspaper with longer articles, analysis, and commentary. A 'Wochenblatt' is often more local and frequently contains ads, event listings, or short news items from the region. The words can be confused because both are published weekly. If you are talking about in-depth journalism, 'Wochenzeitung' usually fits better; for a local paper in your mailbox, 'Wochenblatt' sounds more natural.
