BY THE QUEENS COURIER STAF editorial@queenscourier.com @QueensCourier The “World’s Borough” now has a worldclass website for trend-setting local news and social media connections: QNS.com. Schneps Communications launched this week the new online home of The Queens Courier and its sister publications, the Ridgewood Times, Times Newsweekly and BORO Magazine. While continuing to offer the high-quality, up-to-the-minute news content that readers have come to expect, QNS.com is more than just a news website. It features elements designed to connect the 2.3 million people that call Queens home like never before, including pages dedicated to entire neighborhoods and free classified and event listings. “QNS is all about informing and connecting as many people, neighborhood by neighborhood, as possible,” said Joshua Schneps, co-publisher of Schneps Communications. “We invite anyone living, working or interested in Queens to discover our award-winning content, communicate with their neighbors on their own community pages as well as post free classifieds and events. The best part is accessing the site on desktop, mobile or tablets is a great user experience. We look forward to your feedback and welcome it directly at jschneps@queenscourier.com.” “Although we have been enormously successful with our 19 print products, we understand that we must be as powerful a presence on the Internet,” said Victoria Schneps, copublisher of Schneps Communications. “A year and a half has been spent building what we think will be the state-of-the-art website for our devoted readers and new friends. Enjoy it and use it!” QNS.com is offering registered users a variety of incentives and contests to help spread the word about the new website, including VIP membership and the unique opportunity to help a hard-working individual in Queens and their family win a dream vacation to Cancun.
