A weekly newspaper, Local Life’s aim is to keep Staten Island residents connected to stories celebrating what is happening in our communities as well as provide readers with valuable advertising messages from local businesses. Local Life will include stories about the arts, business, community events, volunteerism, recreational and youth sports and more.
For businesses and organizations that have a story to tell, Local Life wants to hear about it. From grand openings and company milestones to events and community outreach, Local Life is dedicated to sharing important, educational, and heartwarming news and information.
Dan Ryan, senior advertising director for Staten Island Advance and silive.com notes, “I’m excited about the opportunity for the local business community to contribute information about their business and activities that enrich the quality of life on the island.” There is no charge to submit a press release or announcement for consideration. Businesses and community organizations are encouraged to submit their stories at locallifesi.com.
