OPENING LINES
New T year, new start he tradition of New Year’s resolutions is among humanity’s finest, a
worldwide synchronized personification of hope to seize opportunities
that knock with the flip of a calendar.
Our resolution is to continue to improve how we inform, inspire and
entertain our beloved readers. And to that end, this issue includes
features introducing people who can help you keep your resolutions,
age-appropriate tips for getting healthy, plus an insightful interview with
Lara Spencer, host of Good Morning America and Flea Market Flip. She
does her filming at our Long Island City Flea & Food market and I had
the pleasure of meeting her and appearing in several segments that were
filmed at our market. And with politics on everybody’s mind, we’re glad
to bring you the man who leads the Democratic Party in Nassau County,
Jay Jacobs.

We’re very proud to have acquired the multimedia news organization Noticia Long Island
and the very special people who have built it during the past 26 years, including Publisher Silvana Diaz, her
sister, Cinthia, and mother, Vicky. The Spanish-language publication joins El Correo of NY, our Spanish
publication covering Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Manhattan. This will offer a an unparalleled
opportunity for clients who want to reach the Hispanic/Latino audience in New York City and Long Island
and will bring quality news to the Spanish-speaking communities of our region.
Look for our special issue in February declaring the winners of the 2018 Bethpage Best of Long Island
contest. We’re going over the results with our independent auditor and there will be many people celebrating
the results. Read all about them here. Stay tuned!
