In the world of Miami-Dade County’s neighborhoods, two names stand out as the driving force behind one of South Florida’s most enduring local media institutions: Grant and Michael Miller. Together, these two brothers carry on a legacy of community journalism, leadership, and connection that began more than six decades ago.
Their journey starts with their father, Ron Miller, who in 1958 launched the South Dade Shopping News—a small local publication that would evolve into Miami’s Community News. Through the years, Ron instilled in his sons a deep respect for local voices, neighborhood stories, and the power of keeping communities informed and connected. Today, Michael and Grant proudly lead the company as co-publishers, with the same mission at heart: bringing people together through local journalism and community engagement.
What sets Grant and Michael apart isn’t just the sheer volume of work they oversee—it’s the energy and personal touch they bring to everything they do. From printing and distributing 13 hyperlocal newspapers to hosting over 35 original video podcasts weekly on their digital platform, www.CNEWSTV.com, they are deeply immersed in the fabric of Miami life.
You’ll also find their work online at www.CommunityNewspapers.com, where stories from across the county highlight the people, businesses, and events shaping South Florida’s neighborhoods.
Grant Miller, known for his infectious enthusiasm, is the face behind the popular “Grant Miller Here!” videos—short, lively features that spotlight small businesses, community events, and people doing good across Miami-Dade County. Whether he’s ziplining at a local festival, spotlighting a neighborhood eatery, or interviewing civic leaders, Grant makes every story feel personal and every business feel seen.
Michael Miller, a strategic thinker with a deep love for print journalism, works tirelessly to ensure that Miami’s Community News remains a reliable source of local news, public notices, and meaningful content. Under his guidance, the company has expanded its services to include legal advertising, commercial podcast production, public relations support, and monthly networking events that bring business leaders, elected officials, and residents together in the same room.
Both brothers are especially proud of their Meet and Greet events, which they host regularly across Miami-Dade, creating real-world connections that go beyond the page or screen. Whether it’s a ribbon-cutting ceremony or a candidate forum, Michael and Grant are always front and center—supporting local causes, elevating small businesses, and giving a voice to the people.
Their success is built on teamwork—not just between the two of them, but across the entire staff that powers Miami’s Community News. From reporters and designers to videographers and office support, the Millers believe that collaboration, communication, and shared purpose are what allow them to thrive. While they each bring unique strengths, their shared values keep them grounded: family, community, and service.
As co-publishers, they’ve turned a family newspaper into a multi-media company and community platform—offering print, digital, video, and podcasting opportunities for businesses, nonprofits, and local leaders alike.
Through changing times and shifting technologies, Grant and Michael Miller continue to evolve, adapt, and innovate. Yet at the core of everything they do is a simple, timeless idea: local matters. And thanks to their leadership, Miami’s Community News remains a vital part of the everyday lives of thousands of readers, viewers, and listeners throughout South Florida.
Ask either of them what it’s all really about, and you’ll hear the same answer:
“It’s about bringing people together.”
That spirit lives on in every edition, every video, every handshake—and every “Grant Miller Here!” that starts with a smile.
