About the Company

The Coastal Star

Hyperlocal monthly newspaper with ad-supported distribution

The Coastal Star is a monthly free newspaper and digital outlet serving nine affluent coastal towns in South Palm Beach County, Florida. It provides hyperlocal coverage of local government, business, environment, philanthropy, and culture through boots-on-the-ground reporting by staff and freelancers. Funded entirely by local advertising, its print edition has been the primary driver of revenue, with a May 2025 shift to USPS mailbox delivery for single-family homes to improve service. The publication distinguishes itself by focusing on small-town government reporting for a wealthy readership and by tailoring content to residents and local advertisers who rely on real estate and small businesses for ads. Its goal is to sustain meaningful local journalism that informs residents and supports the local economy.
