The Garden Island is a daily newspaper based in Lihue, Hawaii, covering the islands of Kauai and Niihau.

History

[edit]

The Garden Island began publication in 1902. It was formerly owned by Scripps League Newspapers, which was acquired by Pulitzer in 1996; Lee Enterprises acquired Pulitzer in 2005.[2][3][4] Oahu Publications Inc., publisher of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, acquired The Garden Island newspaper from Lee Enterprises in January 2013.[5]

In 2024, the newspaper began posting videos to social media that featured AI-generated newscasters presenting news headlines. The videos received negative online comments from viewers and was called "digital colonialism" by a newsroom union representative.[6][7]
