Semi weeklies refer to newspapers or magazines that are published twice a week. There are various synonyms that can be used to describe such publications, including bi-weeklies, fortnightly publications, twice-a-week papers, semi-weekly editions, and Tuesday/Friday papers. Bi-weekly specifically implies that the publication is issued every other week, whereas fortnightly refers to a publication that is issued once every two weeks. The term "twice-a-week papers" is a simple and straightforward way to describe semi weeklies, while "semi-weekly editions" is a more technical term that can be used in the publishing industry. Finally, referring to Tuesday or Friday papers can also be used to denote semi weeklies, as these are the two days of the week when these publications are typically issued.
