Historical Importance– Contemporary Popularity
Since 1957, The News has been the paper of record and the only paper covering news and events from all 18 communities. Founded by The New Yorker’s Drama Critic Wolcott Gibbs, the paper is proud of its irreverent style, championing civil and environmental rights. The paper’s archives contain valuable Fire Island historical photos and articles.
According to the Fire Island National Seashore, over 3.4 million people visit Fire Island annually. Fire Islanders have an average yearly disposable income of $80,000. During a typical summer weekend, as many as 30,000 people are in residence and an additional 30,000 day visitors tour the island.
In a recent island-wide survey, the Fire Island Chamber of Commerce discovered that The News is read five times more frequently than any other publication on Fire Island. Just ask where you buy your paper! FIRE ISLAND NEWS 2010 AD RATES & SPECS >>
