About Us

The Long Beach Post is comprised of LBPOST.com and the monthly print publication covering news, life, business and sports in Long Beach, California. It is our goal to become the most read media source in Long Beach by January 1, 2015. To do so we will continue to invest in expanded coverage of our city and its people, create new technologies to increase our readership, and remain nimble so changing reader demands are opportunities not threats.

The Long Beach Post was founded by Dr. Robert Garcia and Shaun Lumachi online February 13, 2007 and in print April 12, 2011.
