Here's a look at the history of amNew York Metro, providing the Big Apple with local news coverage for 20 years.
Everyone has birthdays, including. In fact, we’re turning 20 this year! And our entire staff, from our most dedicated freelancers to our publishers and everyone else who makes our paper run, is excited to share this milestone with our readers.
The publishing scribe, of course, was no newspaper novice. He was working at Metro, which originally launched in Europe. And on Oct. 10, 2003, amNewYork was launched. With financial support from Newsday, owned by news giant Tribune Company at the time, amNewYork was now found throughout the city in transit hubs, on street corners and in ferry terminals.
Meanwhile, Metro New York was also being promoted around New York City. Just as amNewYork was succeeding, Metro was working on marketing and unique publicity stunts to garner attention, explained Henry Scott, who helped launch the paper. “People just don’t feel like they need to pay for news,” he said. “We put out a great news product every day. We’re very fortunate because our newspaper delivers great results for our advertisers and clients, we’re able to support the paper through our advertising.”
A few years later in 2008, amNewYork reported on the start of High Line construction, specifically the progress being made on the first section between Gansevoort and 20th Streets. Today, the High Line is a sprawling 1.45-milelong public park building on an elevated rail line.Superstorm Sandy ravaged New York in 2012, and amNewYork chronicled the damage, the recovery over the years and the stories of people who survived the disaster.
