The Block Island Times

It is the only newspaper published on the island, which is a popular tourist destination in Long Island Sound but has only about 1,000 year-round residents.

Dan Rattiner founded The Times as a summer-only paper in 1970.

In 1982, the paper began publishing during non-summer months, and in 1988 became a full-year weekly newspaper.

[1] The newspaper was purchased by Central Connecticut Communications in 2016 from the Lang family.
