chronicling Red Hook and the world beyond

A note from the publisher: There are two big changes at the Star-Revue.

First - we have expanded out arts coverage and have given the arts it’s own section. The June issue consisted of a 28 page news section, and a 20 page arts section printed separately and folded inside.

The plan is to greatly increase our readership - providing a lively mix of stories to keep readers engaged and enthusiastic.

Second - we are now distributing the Star-Revue in the East and West Village of Manhattan. Last year we expanded from our base of Red Hook, Carroll Gardens and Gowanus to Dumbo and Park Slope - to great success. Since our arts coverage now includes Manhattan, we are making the paper available there as well.

The House of Ideas is busily at work on July and beyond. Our special sections are great advertising opportunities, and the regular ads are a unique way to cement your establishment in the minds of our growing flotilla of readers. I would be happy to send you a sample copy of the Star-Revue in the mail… just email me at george@redhookstar.com. If you can’t wait, see us online at www.star-revue.com

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. In 2018 we took 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, we have widened our circulation 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. This is the core of our audience.

In addition, the Revue can be found in Dumbo, Sunset Park, Park Slope and Gowanus.

The Red Hook Star-Revue guarantees a per-issue circulation of 9,000 copies distributed in local shops and institutions. It is a free newspaper, averaging 32 pages.

HOUSEHOLD INCOME We serve a diverse community, including both high and low income families.

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!
