AM New York Metro (stylized as amNewYorkMetro) is a morning free daily newspaper that is published in New York City by Schneps Media.[1] According to the company, the average Friday circulation in September 2013 was 335,900.[2] When launched on October 10, 2003, AM New York was the first free daily newspaper in New York City.[3]
AM New York is primarily distributed in enclosed newspaper holders ("honor boxes") located on sidewalks and street corners with high pedestrian traffic. "Hawkers", sporting a red amNewYork vest, are paid to offer the free paper to passersby near many major transportation hubs and other areas with high pedestrian traffic.
History[]
AM New York, along with Newsday, was sold by the Tribune Company to Cablevision in July 2008.[4] AM New York was acquired by Schneps Media from Newsday Media Group in October 2019.[5][6] and subsequently merged with Metro New York to become AM New York Metro in January 2020.[7]
