History

[edit]

Boston-based free newspaper publisher Russel Pergament moved into New York City's ultra-competitive newspaper market in the early 2000s, a move Time called "admirable in its audacity", by focusing on the 18-to-34 segment of the population that traditionally did not read newspapers and wanted content that was "fast, blather free and unbiased" according to Pergament. He launched amNewYork, published by the Tribune Company, on October 10, 2003.[3] When it launched, amNewYork was the first free daily newspaper in New York City.[4]

amNewYork grew quickly to a circulation of 290,000 by May 2004. The launch of amNew York was part of a broader effort across the United States to revive the moribund newspaper industry after a decade of eroding readership and declining business.[3]

amNewYork, along with Newsday, was sold by the Tribune Company to Cablevision in July 2008.[5] amNewYork was acquired by Schneps Media in October 2019.[1][6] and subsequently merged with Metro New York to become amNewYork Metro in January 2020.[7]
