“Our job is simple: connect the community and lift it up. Whether it’s in print, a podcast, or a handshake at a Meet & Greet – this is about strengthening our community.

For more than six decades, Miami’s Community News has been the trusted voice of neighborhoods across Miami-Dade County. As the #1 hyperlocal newspaper group in the region, the organization continues to thrive by doing what it does best: bringing people together.

The story began in 1960, when Ron Miller acquired the South Dade Shopping News, a small but beloved local paper. With vision and determination, Ron transformed it into what is now Miami’s Community News. His commitment to uplifting local voices and covering neighborhood issues laid the foundation for one of South Florida’s most respected and enduring media brands.

Today, that legacy is carried forward by Ron’s sons, Grant Miller and Michael Miller, who serve as co-publishers. Their leadership has propelled the company into the digital age while preserving its strong community roots. Known for their energy, accessibility, and deep ties, Grant and Michael are champions of regional businesses, civic engagement, and local news.

With 13 distinct community newspapers—including the Pinecrest TribuneCoral Gables NewsAventura News, and South Miami News—each publication is tailored to reflect the personality, priorities, and people of its community. All editions are available both in print and online at CommunityNewspapers.com, making them easily accessible to tens of thousands of engaged readers.

In addition to its local newspapers, the company also publishes Inspire Health, a lifestyle magazine focused on healthy living. Published every other month, Inspire Health covers wellness, fitness, nutrition, and features advice from South Florida’s top health professionals. It’s a natural extension of the company’s mission to support vibrant, informed, and healthy communities.

But Miami’s Community News is more than just ink on paper.

From print to podcasts, the company has evolved into a full-spectrum media hub. Each week, they produce several podcast shows featuring local business owners, nonprofit leaders, elected officials, and cultural changemakers. These shows are broadcast across Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and the company’s website—maximizing reach and visibility for each guest.

They also create high-quality video commercials for local businesses, filmed both in their in-house studios and on-location at the businesses themselves. These commercials are customized to reflect the unique brand and message of each client and are distributed across multiple digital platforms to ensure maximum visibility.

Meet & Greets That Matter

Their popular monthly Meet & Greets are signature networking events that attract 150 to 250 attendees, including business leaders, advertisers, and civic stakeholders. These breakfast gatherings serve as dynamic platforms for community engagement, with keynote speakers from major hospitals, universities, and city governments. The photos and videos captured at these events are widely shared, offering added exposure for all who attend.

Digital Reach with a Human Touch

Each week, localized eNewsletters are sent to thousands of subscribers, filled with stories, business updates, and invitations to upcoming events. These digital editions offer advertisers and readers timely updates, all while maintaining the strong sense of community that defines the brand.

Powered by a Loyal Team

None of this would be possible without the dedicated team behind the scenes—journalists, sales professionals, podcast producers, designers, and administrators who share a passion for community storytelling. Their commitment keeps the wheels turning and the spotlight shining on local voices.

Miami’s Community News is more than just reporting the news — it’s about bringing people together and strengthening our community — just as the Millers have done for over 60 years.
