At NYC Community Media we have a simple but important mission — to serve the residents, visitors and workers of the communities we report on with the most relevant news, information and opinions that affect their lives.

Being a part of the neighborhood matters.

Warren E. Buffett on the importance of community newspapers Warren E. Buffett recently summed up the role community newspapers play in our residents’ lives in his letter to Berkshire-Hathaway Shareholders, March 1, 2013 “Newspapers continue to reign supreme in the delivery of local news.

If you want to know about what’s going on in your town- there is no substitute for a local newspaper that is doing its job. Wherever there is a pervasive sense of community, a paper that serves the special informational needs of that community will remain indispensible to a significant portion of its residents.”

Whether we deliver our local, neighborhood news to our audience in print or online, our newspapers work to serve the people of our community, and our newspapers work for you in serving those same people — your customers.

DANA THAYER

Senior Vice President, Marketing Chelsea Piers

Our “Stand with Japan” event on Sunday went very well, so many people came out to show their support and to participate in the activities.

We raised more than $20,000 in just 3 hours.

Most of our guests were young families from this neighborhood and I believe the ad in the Downtown Express took our event to the next level. We could not have done this without your support.

Thank you so much, AYAKO ALLEN

The Villager is a great avenue to build community support for our youth softball and baseball programs.

The Villager staff is always looking for opportunities to take advantage of key dates in our GVLL calendar.

We’ve enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship and look forward to many years to come.

DANIEL MILLER

President Greenwich Village Little League

Gay City News has been a fantastic addition to our media plan. Our properties, Dyker B each and Pelham Split Rock Golf Courses, are fabulous wedding locations.

With Gay City News’s vast audience through print, online and e-mail, we have booked three gay weddings for the upcoming year.

Thank you!

HOLLY REDHEFFER National Sales Management & Marketing Project Manager American Golf Corporation

I am delighted to be advertising in Downtown Express. Your design team has made my job so much easier. Everything about the experience has been easy, helpful and straightforward. We are new to the neighborhood, so it’s hard to know where to advertise. Being a grassroots kind of gal, I took to the streets walking into every building in Battery Park City to introduce myself. There in the lobbies I saw several publications, Downtown Express being one of them Of course it’s hard to know what people are actually reading...so I asked. Again and again doormen told me that the paper they see their residents reading is Downtown Express. I am delighted to be a part of the neighborhood and also to have a wonderful resource to keep a finger to the pulse of what is happening downtown.
