Breeze Publications is a privately owned publisher based in Lincoln, Rhode Island, serving northern and western Providence County with five free tabloid-format weekly newspapers.
Founded in 1996 by Thomas V. Ward & James Quinn, Breeze Publications began—at first, produced in Ward's living room—with its flagship title, The Valley Breeze, which later grew to two editions.
Breeze papers compete with The Providence Journal, the only statewide daily newspaper, and with the RISN Operations dailies The Call and The Times, in Woonsocket and nearby Pawtucket, respectively.
In Blackstone, The Valley Breeze competes with the Telegram & Gazette of Worcester, Massachusetts, and with The Milford Daily News of Milford, Massachusetts.
Other member publishers are Beacon Communications, East Bay Newspapers, Hathaway Publishing and Southern Rhode Island Newspapers.
