CAYMANIAN TIMES: CAYMAN’S COMMUNITY VOICE

For 2026 - and beyond - your community newspaper, Caymanian Times, is totally committed to reflecting the best of Cayman in our coverage.

Many times the real news lies away from the glare of the headlines, hardworking and committed people doing their part to make the community better for everyone. For 2026 we want to tell more of those stories and give recognition to the selfless efforts they put into all manner of charitable causes. That unique human feature that we call Caymankind is more than a catchy slogan and a brand. It’s the real Cayman. It’s who we are.

Look out for more of our special segments on community events, people profiles, arts and culture, sports, healthy living, personal financial management, business advice, and more to come across many areas of interest in 2026.

Of course, the big issues of the day will always get their space. The movers and shakers will continue to have their say and hold sway - but will be held to account with probing questions, insightful analysis, editorials, and commentaries about the direction they are taking Cayman. We’ll continue our coverage of issues in the region, other UK Overseas Territories, and the rest of the world, especially as they relate to Cayman.

With plans to publish 3 days per week during 2026 (up from the present two editions weekly; Wednesday and Friday), Caymanian Times is gearing up for a busy year ahead - and it’s just getting started.

There’s no mystery to our history.

The Caymanian Times newspaper was founded 13 years ago by ex-banker Ralph Lewis, marking the culmination of a lifelong passion for media that had quietly been ‘bubbling in the background’.

From a small publication specialising in community events, job and classified advertisements and financial advice (after all, the publisher is an ex-banker), Caymanian Times has stayed the course and weathered the storms. And that’s not just hurricanes, but also the COVID pandemic, during which publisher Ralph Lewis was one of the media representatives at the forefront of local reporting and press briefings.

Coming through all that, Caymanian Times is now sailing into the future under its own steam. The nautical analogy is intentional, reflecting Cayman’s proud maritime tradition.

The paper will continue to be free and available via an expanded distribution network throughout Grand Cayman and the Sister Islands. Our online presence is already being enhanced, especially with our extensive archives as a research and recall tool.

That’s our commitment for 2026. Same Caymanian Times. Same ownership.

“Caymanian Times is here to stay’, says Mr Lewis, “My family and I are committed to building on this truly independent platform that was created from a vision in March 2013.”
