About Libn.com
In 1953 newspaper reporter Arthur Hug and the husband-and-wife team of Peg and John Whitmore launched Long Island Commercial Review, the original name of Long Island Business News. The newspaper was founded in the basement of the Whitmore’s Freeport home, according to Hug. Hug had been a reporter at the Nassau Daily Review Star, the leading newspaper on Long Island in the 1930s. Several years later, he accepted an offer to write for Newsday.
