About Times of the Islands

Overview

Since its inception in 1996, Times of the Islands stands as "Ambassador par excellence" for coastal Southwest Florida and its barrier islands. Our name is synonymous with everything that captures the true essence of island living: the natural beauty of sunsets and tropical vegetation, the placid gulf waters, and the relaxed demeanor of those who reside here. It was this vision that led Publisher Friedrich Jaeger to trade a hectic business in Pennsylvania and New York for the opportunity to start a publication representative of this piece of paradise. A seasoned world traveler, he shares his perspective on island life and those who live it in his annual publisher’s letter.
    Through their great love and respect for the land, spirit of fellowship and
remarkable sense of humor, Southwest Florida’s island residents have lent to the area their unique features; for it takes a most singular type of people to make these islands what they are today. This awakened the desire in all of us involved with Times of the Islands to give back to this land and its community our talents and innermost appreciation in the form of this magazine. For those moved to be a part of Times of the Islands and reach our international readership, advertising opportunities are available.
    Far from just another community newspaper, visitors’ guide or society column, Times of the Islands is a high-profile, award-winning publication encompassing the beauty, style and spirit of island life; a magazine with vision and substance appealing to all those who share the dream, or cherished reality, of sun-splashed days and balmy nights.
    Aptly christened seven years ago on a humid night overlooking the gulf, Times of the Islands pledged to bring you the best of the islands. Come along and share our dream.
