[2] Fiala decided to name the newspaper the Star-Revue since he operated out of the Star Theater building, and as a homage to his original radio news employer, WRHY, a Starview-based station, with Starview being a neighborhood of York, Pennsylvania.

[2] The Red Hook Star-Revue is distributed for free, mostly in restaurants, bars, and supermarkets, operating with revenue from ads in the paper.

[1] Despite the ads, the Red Hook Star-Revue still does not make a profit, and Fiala has to largely subsidize the newspaper from revenue from his mail service.

[3] In 2020, the Red Hook Star Revue covered the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in Italy, as well as its societal, artistic and political impact with a series of articles written by Dario Pio Muccilli,[4] who currently works as the newspaper's foreign correspondent in Europe.

In this capacity, Muccilli has covered news such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine,[5] the use of social media by the Uffizi Museum in Florence,[6] as well as several electoral rounds including Italy, France, Germany, and the European Union.
