The "Long Island Press" is a free alternative newsweekly serving Long Island with extensive coverage of arts and entertainment, sports, and alternative political viewpoints. The newspaper started in 2003 after its parent company, the Morey Organization, bought "The Long Island Ear", which was a free bi-monthly entertainment-oriented newspaper and re-named it. The staff of the "Press" includes former "Newsday" columnist Ed Lowe, television columnist Todd Hyman and technology columnist Lazlow. It includes the syndicated film review by Roger Ebert. From 2003 to 2005, the "Press" also featured an acclaimed column by Amy Fisher. It is the ninth largest weekly newspaper in the United States.

"The Long Island Press" was also a daily newspaper that was for years known as the "Long Island Farmer". The "Farmer" was founded in the 1840's, changed its name to the "Long Island Daily Press" in the 1920's, became simply the "Long Island Press" in 1967 and shut down in 1977. Regular columnists included Walter Kaner. This newspaper was the inspiration for the name of the current incarnation.

The Levittown Public Library in Nassau County has microfilm of the Press from 1944 to 1977.
