Above the Fold is independent journalism covering Key West, the Lower Keys, Marathon, Islamorada, Key Largo, Ocean Reef and everywhere the Overseas Highway touches.
I’m Ted Lund.
I’ve covered Monroe County for decades — The Key West Citizen, Solares Hill, The Miami Herald.
I know who’s pulling the strings at city hall, which developers are circling the waterfront and why the city and county budget numbers don’t add up.
Before that, I covered sports, politics and breaking news across South Florida. I’m also a licensed charter captain, which means I try to spend as much time on the water as I do watching beauracracy unfold.
Above the Fold exists because the Florida Keys deserve a newsroom that answers to readers, not advertisers.
I don’t take donations from the people I cover. Your subscription is the entire business model, and that’s exactly how I want it.
What you get:
Free subscribers receive breaking local news, morning briefings, community events and things worth knowing about — delivered straight to your inbox.
Paid subscribers get everything: the investigations, the deep dives, the opinion columns that name names, the public records nobody else is pulling. Full access, no restrictions.
Above the Fold is ranked No. 44 on Substack’s Rising Politics and News — because of readers like you. Help keep the momentum going.
