The Gabber

The Gabber Newspaper, initially known as the Gulfport Gabber, was established in 1968 by George Brann to focus on the Gulfport city council. Over time, it grew into an essential source of information for the community, broadening its advertising reach and content to include features, local news, and events. In 1980, Elsie and Ted Havness purchased the paper from Brann, and in 1992, it was sold to Ken and Deb Reichart, who managed it for 28 years before passing it on to Cathy Salustri Loper and Barry Loper in June 2020. As the oldest independent weekly newspaper in Florida, The Gabber Newspaper serves the South Pinellas area, covering communities from Madeira Beach to Tierra Verde and Gulfport to Pinellas Park, as well as south, west, and downtown St. Petersburg. Readers can find local news, community happenings, in-depth features, and the most comprehensive classifieds among weekly newspapers in the region.

Gulfport Pride 2025I’m writing to let you know that not everyone embraces public indecency. Knowing there would be a lot of folks broadcasting their bedroom habits (I still think it’s none of my business what others do in their home), I purposefully avoided the waterfront district on Saturday; and, after reading the article and seeing the photo, I’m glad I did.
