From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Block Island Times is an independent weekly newspaper covering the town of New Shoreham, Rhode Island, U.S., coextensive with Block Island. It is the only newspaper published on the island, which is a popular tourist destination in Long Island Sound but only about 1,000 year-round residents.
Dan Rattiner founded The Times as a summers-only paper in 1970, with Margaret Cabel Self serving as first editor. In 1982, the paper began publishing during non-summer months, and in 1988 became a full-year weekly newspaper.[1]
