The two free weekly tabloids
serving New York City
are now one.
Schneps Media, publisher
of amNewYork, acquired the
assets of Metro New York and
Metro Philadelphia, including
the popular daily newspapers,
websites and digital media
businesses serving New York
City and Philadelphia.
As a result, Schneps Media
has merged amNewYork and
Metro New York to form am-
NewYork Metro. With 175,000
copies sent to press for Monday’s
issues, its circulation is
now more than twice than that
of any other major daily circulated
in the fi ve boroughs.
In addition, Schneps adds
over 350,000 in weekly circulation
with its community newspapers
serving Brooklyn,
Queens, Manhattan and the
Bronx. Schneps Media also
covers the Long Island and
Westchester markets.
Schneps’ combined digital
reach will now grow to about
3.5 million unique visitors
and 5.5 million page views
per month with over 300,000
email newsletter subscribers
and 500,000 social media followers.
Schneps plans to retain
amNY.com as the digital
brand for New York and will
soon be launching amNY TV
providing episodes of content
across multiple digital platforms.
The fi rst series will be
The World’s Fare featuring
the best authentic international
restaurants and their
chefs in New York City.
Philadelphia is a new market
for Schneps Media with
METRO having the largest
circulation in Philadelphia
County.
Schneps Media executive
Cliff Luster has been named
Group Publisher for the New
York and Philadelphia markets
with former METRO executives
Ed Abrams and Susan
Pfeiffer acting as Publishers
and Associate Publisher for
New York City and Philadelphia
respectively. Robert Pozarycki,
amNewYork’s current
Editor in Chief, will serve
in the same role for the combined
New York City media.
METRO largely consolidated
their Philadelphia newsroom
into New York and Schneps
Media plans to focus on
hiring editorial staff that will
be based in the local Philadelphia
market for that offi ce.
“I’m very happy that the
readers and communities of
New York and Philadelphia
will get their news from publishers
that have been devoted
to local news coverage for over
35 years,” said Abrams. “I’m
excited to be joining and leading
the amNewYork METRO
division with a company I
competed with and also respected
for many years.”
“This is an exciting next
step for our entire organization
offering a unique opportunity
to strengthen our position
in the daily newspaper
market and increase our readership
to over 2.5 million readers
in print each week and
many more online,” said Schneps
Media CEO Joshua Schneps.
“Our expansion to the Philadelphia
market is something
we look forward to. We will be
bringing our business model
to this historic City,” said
Schneps Media Founder and
President Victoria Schneps.
METRO Philadelphia is poised
to grow tremendously and we
look forward to working with
the local community.”
Schneps Media is now the
publisher and producer of two
leading daily newspapers, 33
award-winning community
newspapers, 28 magazines and
specialty publications, 20 websites
and more than 50 annual
events throughout New York
City, Long Island, Westchester
and now Philadelphia.
