The Islander News has been covering “The Life and Times of Key Biscayne, Florida” since Nov. 2, 1966, when it was founded by Sue Morton as The Islander Key Biscayne Weekly Bulletin, selling for 15 cents per issue or 50 cents for a monthly subscription.
That first issue led with the story, “Key Biscayne is changing,” which detailed new shops and homes on the island, and heralded the impending opening of Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park on the island’s southern tip. It announced a Lion’s Club lightbulb sale, the Key Biscayne Music and Drama Club’s production of Mary Mary, the volunteer fire department’s search for more volunteers and a three-bedroom home renting for $225 per month.
Today, the newspaper continues to pride itself on being Key Biscayne’s most trusted source of local news, and not only telling the Village’s stories, but participating in its events and civic life. The Islander looks forward to continuing the share in the progress of the Island Paradise as the community moves into its second 25 years as the Village of Key Biscayne and The Islander marks its second half century of sharing its “life and times.”
