Parsippany Focus Celebrates 33 Years

Parsippany Focus celebrated thirty-three years on October 1.

Parsippany Focus was first published as a printed newspaper on October 1, 1989.

On October 1, 2019, we published a special magazine, Parsippany Focus Magazine. With this issue, we are celebrating our third anniversary.

“We wanted to create a positive piece for Parsippany, as well as supporting our local businesses” said publisher Frank Cahill.

In addition, we recently released “MORRIS NOW” a free APP supporting all local businesses. The app also features local news, local events, classifieds, restaurant reviews, messaging system as well as deals and promotions from local businesses.

When Parsippany Focus was first published it was named the “Official newspaper of the Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce (PACC)”. Publisher Frank Cahill, was named on the Board of Directors

of PACC in 1989, eventually elected Vice President, and then President-elect (but due to commitments with Focus did not continue as President, just remained on the Board of Directors.) He also created a Retail Committee to work with area businesses.

Parsippany Focus converted to a weekly newspaper serving the residents of Parsippany-Troy Hills in June 1991. Eventually Parsippany Focus was named the legal newspaper of the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills. This was the first weekly newspaper in many years appointed to serve the needs of the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills.

Due to competition of newspapers in the late 90s, and the change of advertising markets of major companies devoting their advertising dollars to major newspapers, the advertising revenues of Parsippany Focus decreased to a point where it was not profitable to publish. Focus ceased publication in 1996.

Due to the technology of the Internet, we have created a website for the people of Parsippany, to publicize the events that involve their everyday life. Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, business briefs, honor rolls, club news, community announcements, school happenings (the same basic information the print version of Parsippany Focus featured from 1989 through late 1990s). “All Local, All Parsippany.”

Parsippany Focus has limited website advertising space available. Banner ads, links, and sidebar ads can be purchased on a monthly basis, and are displayed on selected pages within the website.
