South Florida Newspaper Network's publications reach a combined circulation of approximately 700,000 and a readership of more than 1 million throughout South Florida. The network publishes the Jewish Journal, a collection of six newspapers serving South Florida's Jewish community and one of the largest Jewish newspapers in the country.
