THE NEW VOICE OF NEW YORK

A note from the publisher: Here we are in promotion land again. I really enjoy publishing the Star-Revue, as its continuing growth is testament to the fact that people will respond to quality.

Over the past year we’ve added interesting writers, more pages, and more ads to the mix, creating a product that people in our neighborhoods are starting to look forward to each month.

In addition to our original reporting of community news, most of which is unavailable via any other medium, our expanded Brooklyn-wide arts coverage, as well as our thoughtful analyses and commentary make for an enjoyable read, that can’t be compared to reading stories on a cellphone.

We’re going to keep getting better, as being the New Voice of New York is a pretty cool thing to live up to.

Take out an ad and be part of the mix!

Best, George

The Red Hook Star-Revue Media Kit

About Us The Red Hook Star-Revue was founded by me, George Fiala, in 2010, and has been publishing regularly since. I love the newspaper business, especially community newspapers. I chose Red Hook for a couple of reasons.

First of all, it’s a historic area surrounded by water on three sides, with a rich shipping background.

Second, it’s got the second largest public housing project in the city.

Third, there are a lot of hangers-on, whose family grew up in Red Hook, worked on the docks, bought modest homes, and whose families stayed.

Then of course there are new residents, who, charmed by the neighborhood as I was, not only moved in but in many cases have participated in its growth.

The art scene is also burgeoning, aided by the opening of Pioneer Works earlier this decade.

I’m excited that the paper is growing as fast as the neighborhood. In the last year, I’ve added a news reporter, an investigative reporter, an arts editor, a music editor, an art director and an advertising manager. This, to an already award-winning staff. We joined the NY Press Association back in 2012, and have been winners in their annual Better Newspaper Contest every year, including first places in Feature Writing, Photography, and Advertising Design.

In 2017, we entered the Best Community Newspaper category in the annual IPPIES awards, conducted by the CUNY School of Journalism. We were awarded first place, beating all other city papers. This year we were awarded second place.

I distribute the paper myself, out of my car. I can tell you that each month when I distribute the new issue, there are very few of the old ones left.

Now that we’ve added to our arts coverage, and made it borough-wide, I’ve increased the print run to include Park Slope, Gowanus, Dumbo and Fort Greene in addition to Red Hook and Carroll Gardens.

OUR READERS The zip code ‘11231’ contains the neighborhoods of Red Hook, Carroll Gardens, and the Columbia Waterfront District. It also contains the southern portion of Cobble Hill, the Western portion of Gowanus, and Governors Island. This very economically and culturally diverse area of Brooklyn is united by a shared history relating to shipping and other manufacturing.

The Red Hook Star-Revue guarantees a per-issue circulation of 8,000. The papers are distributed widely throughout four contiguous Brooklyn neighborhoods.

HOUSEHOLD INCOME Red Hook, the Columbia Waterfront District, and Carroll Gardens is a mixedincome community.

TONY’S STORY­—MARK’S PIZZERIA The first time I heard about the Red Hook Star-Revue was when I was shopping around for this location. I knew every neighborhood had their own newspaper, so the first thing that I did, I tried to contact George.

I wanted to put my name in the paper so the neighbors knew that this location is going to have a new owner. Soon everybody was coming in the door, and 20 percent of the people had the newspaper in their hand. That’s why I decided that if I want to advertise my business, this is the paper I should advertise in. At the Star-Revue whatever they’re doing, they’re doing a great job!

TINA’S STORY­—FRIENDS OF P.S. 15 My name is Tina Heslin and I’m the chairperson for Friends of P.S. 15. We’re a nonprofit that supports P.S. 15 in Red Hook, NY. The Friends of P.S.15 was a group that started to help bring the community and the school together; to see what can the community do to help support our elementary school in our neighborhood.

I find the Red Hook Star-Revue to be affordable for advertising, especially being a non-profit.

I live in Cobble Hill and every time I would come down to Fairway, I picked up a copy of the Star-Revue. We decided to advertise as a way to reach the community in Red Hook and also other parts of Brooklyn. ...

All I had to do was provide what the meat of the advertisement was and [the Star-Revue staff] created something wonderful. Like, wow! I never would have been able to create that! So my ads have always been wonderful with the help of the staff...

I find the Red Hook Star-Revue to be affordable for advertising, especially being a non-profit. We want to make sure all our money goes to the students, and it really helps that they care about what we’re spending, and what we want to advertise in spending. So thank you!
