Direct peers

• Miami New Times: Alternative weekly newspaper covering Miami-Dade with local news, arts, dining, and culture coverage. Direct competitor for Biscayne Times readers and advertisers in the Miami-Dade hyperlocal news market.
• Boca Magazine: Monthly local lifestyle and news magazine covering Boca Raton, Florida. Closely comparable as a Florida-based hyperlocal monthly print and digital magazine serving a defined local corridor/region.
• Miami's Community Newspapers: Network of hyperlocal South Florida community newspapers covering Miami-Dade neighborhoods with civic, school, and local business news. Operates a similar micro-targeted local journalism model in the same metro.
• Miami Today: Long-running community newspaper serving Miami neighborhoods with local government, civic, and business news. Closely comparable as a hyperlocal Miami-Dade news publication targeting similar residents and advertisers.

Broad incumbents

• Miami Herald: Major regional daily newspaper covering South Florida including Miami-Dade. Larger incumbent with overlapping coverage of Biscayne Corridor communities but much broader geographic scope and greater resources.
• South Florida Sun Sentinel: Major regional daily covering Broward and southern Palm Beach with overlap into Miami-Dade. Broad incumbent alternative for advertisers and readers in South Florida local news.

Emerging players

• Time Out Miami: Digital local guide covering Miami dining, arts, events, and culture. Overlaps with Biscayne Times' Boulevard Living and Dish & Drink coverage for the same Miami-Dade audience, though primarily digital and event-driven.

Regional players

• Naples Illustrated: Monthly regional magazine covering Naples and Collier County, Florida with news, arts, dining, and community content. Comparable monthly local-magazine format but in a different Florida geography.
• The Coastal Star: Monthly hyperlocal newspaper covering coastal South Florida communities from Boca Raton to Delray Beach. Comparable local monthly publication with civic, environmental, and community focus.
• Fort Lauderdale Magazine: Monthly city magazine covering Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods with local news, dining, arts, and community affairs. Similar South Florida hyperlocal monthly-magazine model in an adjacent county.
