More Than News — A Commitment to Community

By Douglas Heizer

This year, as Boca Raton celebrates its 100th anniversary, I find myself reflecting on what it means to truly belong to a community — not just to live in it, but to build it.

For the past 16 years, our team at The Boca Raton Tribune has done more than report the news. We’ve been present — showing up to local events, covering causes, giving voice to those who often go unheard. We’ve helped businesses grow, celebrated milestones, and shared the stories that shape who we are.

And through all of this, one truth remains: local journalism is only possible when the community believes in it.

I often say that a $4.99 monthly digital subscription isn’t about revenue. It’s about something much deeper — a simple, powerful way to say “thank you” for what we’ve built together. It’s not just support for a newspaper. It’s a vote for visibility, for memory, and for connection.

To those who already subscribe — thank you. Your support carries us.

And if you’ve ever seen your name, your business, or your cause featured in our pages — or if you simply believe that our city deserves a voice of its own — I invite you to stand with us.

But let me be clear: if you can’t afford it and still want to receive our digital edition, just reach out to me. I’ll make sure you do. No explanations needed. Because that’s what community is about.

Here’s to the next 100 years of stories — and to the people who make them worth telling.
