The Expansion of a Legacy

The Miami Times has been a family-owned business since its inception, with a weekly readership stretching from Homestead to South Broward. I grew up in the newspaper business, at the paper started by my great-grandfather, Henry E. S. Reeves. The Reeves name ultimately became synonymous with representing, advocating and fighting for the rights, civil liberties and interests of South Florida’s Black community. Ownership passed to my grandfather, Garth C. Reeves Sr., then to my mother, Rachel Reeves, who turned day-to-day operations over to me three years ago. 

We have a proud legacy of publishing quality, local journalism with award-winning enterprise stories, and I intend to carry that legacy into the Biscayne Times corridor. My commitment to solid news and rich storytelling will not waiver, even in these unpredictable economic times.

The publications will maintain their own distinct styles and content, with the benefit of a shared staff whose bylines will appear in both newspapers from time to time. Versions of stories in this and the September edition of Biscayne Times have already appeared in The Miami Times. Likewise, you will see a few stories in this edition that were researched and written by regular contributors to The Miami Times. This collaboration only makes both publications better and more robust. Most of your favorite columns will remain, with just a few changes and expanded coverage we'll hope you'll enjoy.

A new Biscayne Times website has just launched and the community can expect a growing digital footprint, with an expanded social media presence for both publications.

Major dailies and national publications have taken a big hit over the years, but I know people like you, the loyal readers of Biscayne Times, will always depend on quality, local journalism as the bedrock of democracy it is intended to be. Know that it is our intent to always meet you at the crossroads of Biscayne Boulevard and freedom of the press.

Here to serve,

Garth Reeves III
