The virus crisis has turned our world upside down, and as we recently noted in these pages, there’s no going back to life as we knew it just a few short months ago.
Befitting this moment of great change, Biscayne Times is undergoing its own transformation. After 13 years and nine months as this publication’s publisher and editor, I am handing off the enterprise to Garth Reeves III, whose family has owned and operated the weekly Miami Times for 97 years, serving the area’s Black communities with distinction.
