Direct peers

• Dan's Papers: Long-standing community newspaper and media brand covering the Hamptons with print, digital, and lifestyle content. Direct competitor in the same affluent Long Island sub-market, with overlapping lifestyle magazine coverage.
• Patch Media: Hyperlocal digital news network covering communities across the U.S., including Long Island towns. Directly competes for local news readers and local advertiser dollars in the same geography.
• 27 East / Behind The Hedges: East End Long Island hyperlocal news sites covering the Hamptons and South Fork. Comparable in geographic focus, lifestyle content, and reliance on real estate advertising.
• Star Community Newspapers: Group of community newspapers serving Long Island's South Shore and other Suffolk County areas. Comparable multi-title, hyperlocal Long Island newspaper model.

Broad incumbents

• Lee Enterprises: Large multi-title U.S. newspaper publisher with portfolio of local daily and weekly papers. Comparable business model of multi-title local news + advertising, though geographically diversified.
• Gannett: Largest U.S. newspaper publisher (USA Today Network) operating hundreds of local papers including Long Island titles. Broad incumbent with overlapping capabilities but lacking Times Review's niche lifestyle/wine depth.
• Alden Global Capital (MediaNews Group): Major newspaper chain operator (including former Tribune titles) with portfolio of local and regional dailies. Relevant comparable for multi-brand community publishing economics.

Regional players

• The Day Publishing Company: Independent regional newspaper group serving southeastern Connecticut with daily and weekly publications. Comparable as a family/independent-owned regional multi-title publisher, though a different geography.
• Hamptons.com: Digital lifestyle and news site covering the Hamptons with editorials, events, and real estate. Comparable target market and lifestyle publisher orientation, but primarily digital.

Emerging players

• Wine Enthusiast Media: Wine-focused media brand with print magazine, digital content, and commerce. Comparable to Long Island Wine Press / Northforker as a wine-vertical publishing business, though at a larger scale.
