BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2023 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Happy Birthday, Us! BocaNewsNow.com is now twelve years old and in that short time, has grown from a short post about an event at a Boca Raton library to more than 12,300 articles about life in and around South Florida.

Our reporting has exposed stories that many often want to keep quiet. We’ve reported on the good and the bad. We’ve exposed rouge HOAs, communities with crime problems, restaurants that are gross, and people who do good. We’ve filed hundreds of “freedom of information act” requests, engaged in countless battles over public records, and we’ve refused to cave to pressure from those who believe that sunlight is bad. We even successfully pushed a major supermarket chain to ban dogs.

Our stories have led to hiring and firings, our reporting has been cited in state and federal court cases, and it’s often used as the basis for reporting in papers like the Sun Sentinel and Palm Beach Post — once large news operations, now just a shadow of their former selves. Like tens of thousands of others, their reporters subscribe to our nightly email and breaking news updates. And when it comes to breaking news, no one beats us. Our alerts are often activated within moments of event confirmation. We log millions of page views and impressions a month. We have a waitlist of advertisers.

And to potential advertisers: we hit an audience that broadcast never can. The overwhelming majority of our audience is 25-64, cares about South Palm Beach County and North Broward County, has disposable income, and owns their home. Ads on BocaNewsNow.com ads were viewed nearly 100,000,000 times each year over the past three years. We are where you want to be. To solve our waitlist problem, we have a new initiative launching soon. Reach out to learn more.

Thanks for making BocaNewsNow.com one of the leading hyper-local news websites in the nation.
