Independently owned and operated since 1990, the Beverly Press and Park Labrea News is the weekly paper of record for Beverly Hills, Park La Brea, Miracle Mile, Hancock Park and West Hollywood — printed full color every Thursday and read by more than 13,000 households.
Seven real beats, reported weekly by trained journalists — from Beverly Hills City Hall to the Miracle Mile arts scene.
City hall, development, and local government across Beverly Hills, Park La Brea and West Hollywood.
Public safety, courts and law enforcement coverage for the coverage area, straight from BHPD and LAPD.
Restaurant openings and closings, chef profiles and the Westside dining scene.
Museums, galleries and the people and culture that make the neighborhood distinct.
BHUSD and LAUSD coverage, from board meetings to student achievement.
What's actually happening this week — openings, meetings and community events.
The community's own words — a real, printed forum every week, since long before comment sections existed.
Michael & Karen Villalpando have run the paper themselves since 1990 — no chain, no hedge fund.
Started as a resident newsletter in a brand-new neighborhood, it's been in continuous local hands ever since.
Residents of the newly built Park La Brea complex begin distributing a resident newsletter — the earliest form of the paper.
Newspaperman Joseph Duplain takes over and converts the newsletter into a formal publication.
Nan Dayhoff edits the paper for 20 years, publishing twice a month, before TV newsman Chuck Riley acquires it in the 1970s.
Michael and Karen Villalpando purchase the paper on January 1 and take it weekly, expanding circulation to Miracle Mile, Hancock Park and the Fairfax District.
Circulation expands again, and "Beverly Press" joins "Park Labrea News" on the masthead for the first time.
The paper marks 75 years with "Our People Our Places," a diamond-anniversary magazine distributed to nearly every resident of Beverly Hills.
Eighty years in, still family-run, still weekly, still covering Beverly Hills, Park La Brea, Miracle Mile, Hancock Park and West Hollywood in print.
A small, real newsroom — not a syndicate rewriting wire copy.
The newsroom follows the Society of Professional Journalists' Code of Ethics — trained journalists covering hard local news, not aggregated content.
The Beverly Press publishes full color, in print, every Thursday — distributed directly and through a Los Angeles Times partnership, plus mail delivery for readers outside the direct-drop area.
