our story Manhattan Media

Manhattan Media delivers more ABC-audited circulation in Manhattan than the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Daily News, the New York Post or New York magazine.

Thursday, February 11, 2010

Our Town, West Side Spirit, Chelsea Clinton News and The Westsider focus on Manhattan residents, and the news and issues that touch their lives. With a presence on the East Side for almost 40 years and on the West Side for more than 60 years, these are the oldest community papers in New York. The newspapers are hyper-local, with direct access to readers, their lives and neighborhood businesses. They provide ongoing coverage of schools, crime, politics, transportation, business, real estate, sports, culture and ideas –– always with attention to the neighborhoods we call our own.

edgy & engagedFor the past 20 years, New York Press has remained an independent voice in a city where media reigns supreme, offering journalism in the radical first person to readers hungry for something smart, insightful and surprising. Unlike many other publications who pander to their audiences, the Press consistently pushes the boundaries to attract new readers and retain existing ones with humor, contrarian’s point of views and provocative experiences; reveling in what makes New York City the epicenter of inspiration, attracting artists, musicians and creative types. The numbers prove it: With an average age of 39.7 and median income of $130,000, the New York Press captures the attention of young, plugged-in readers who like to work hard, play hard and know what’s happening before anyone else. Our writers are devoted to uncovering what’s new in the city’s politics, food, films and music, so that the weekly paper remains an edgy, groundbreaking source of information for issues ranging from sex and media, to real estate and culture.

savvy & upscale parentsNew York Family is a lifestyle magazine focused on the interests, issues and concerns of educated, affluent New York City parents. In a tone and style that’s savvy (without being trendy) and sophisticated (without being snobby), the magazine covers subjects of interest to local parents (and parents-to-be) with children from newborn to tween and teen –– including education/admissions; real estate and home design; cultural activities for families; children’s classes; birthday parties; family travel; health and fitness; children’s fashion and shopping; green family living; maternity; special needs; and more. According to a recent New York Times article, “Manhattan’s 35,000 or so toddlers are being raised by parents whose median income was $284,208 a year in 2005, which means they are growing up in wealthier households than similar youngsters in any other large county in the country.” Riding the wave of upscale parents choosing to raise their children in the city, the magazine has quickly become a must-read for local parents, and a must-purchase for advertisers who want to reach them. In addition to the Manhattan edition, Manhattan Media publishes New York Family Brooklyn, and a twice-a-year magazine for parents planning Bar or Bat Mitzvahs, called Mitzvah.

Parenting TipMr. and Mrs. Love Lab: Everyone has theirideas about relationships. John Gottman did theresearch. The founder of the well-regarded Love Lab(www.lovelabresearch.com) in Seattle, Gottman hasbeen a leader in the serious study of relationshipdynamics and satisfaction for over 30 years, and he’salso skilled at distilling his knowledge into readableand interesting books. Couples with young childrenmight find something they can relate to in his latestbook like “And Baby Makes Three: The Six-StepPlan For Preserving Marital Intimacy And Rekindling Romance AfterBaby Arrives”— which despite the suggestive title is mostly about having agreat marriage.

Also worth read-ing: the fascinating section on Gottman and his ability to analyze and evenpredict relationship obstacles in Malcolm Gladwell’s “Blink.”)
