The Miami New Times is a newspaper published in Miami, Florida, United States, and distributed every Thursday. It primarily serves the Miami metropolitan area, and is headquartered in Miami's Wynwood Art District.[1]

Overview

It was acquired by Village Voice Media, then known as New Times Media, in 1987, when it was a fortnightly newspaper called the Wave.[2] The paper has won numerous awards,[3] including a George Polk Award for coverage of the Major League steroid scandal in 2014[4] and first place in 2008 among weekly papers from the Investigative Reporters and Editors for stories about the Julia Tuttle Causeway sex offender colony.[5] In 2010, the paper garnered international attention[6] when it published a story by Brandon K. Thorp and Penn Bullock which revealed that anti-gay activist George Alan Rekers had hired a male prostitute to accompany him on a trip to Europe.[7]

In September 2012, Village Voice Media executives Scott Tobias, Christine Brennan, and Jeff Mars bought Village Voice Media's papers and associated web properties from its founders and formed Voice Media Group.[8]

Author Steve Almond is a former writer for the Miami New Times.[9] Former Two Live Crew rapper Luther Campbell is a columnist for the paper.[10]
