JENNIFER GOODSTEIN

PUBLISHER & PRESIDENT

Announcing the Community News Group — New York’s largest collection of family-

owned newspapers, websites, and magazines and the city’s most powerful name in community journalism.

Our assortment of weekly and bi-weekly newspapers along with websites that are updated several times a day have been bringing neighbors together for more than 80 years.

We’ve got our finger on the pulse of our communities, and no one has the attention of New York City’s neighborhoods like we do.

More than 1 million people living in neighborhoods such as the Village, Dumbo, Astoria, Pelham Bay, Sheepshead Bay, Williamsburg, Bayside, Throggs Neck, and many more look to us each month to find out what is happening in and around their homes.

We do this as members of our communities. Our staff — from reporters, to editors, to sales reps, to ownership — lives in the communities it covers, so we know what is happening when, where, and why.

So look to your local Community News Group newspaper and website for breaking news, analysis, and what’s happening in your area, because there are a million stories in New York City, and we’re covering them one neighborhood at a time.

BAY NEWS & BROOKLYN GRAPHIC

“I have been an advertiser with the Bay News for almost ten years and signing up was a great decision. The service and follow up from the sales force has been outstanding and the papers that I have advertised in have helped

and continue to help grow my practice. My account executive has been an asset to me and my practice. Her care and support have been phenomenal and I look forward to a long lasting relationship!”

Joseph Lichter, DDS

The Bay News is the flagship newspaper of Courier Life Publications and Community News Group —

the borough’s largest chain of community weeklies — covering news and events in Sheepshead Bay, Bensonhurst, Brighton Beach, Coney Island, Gerritsen Beach, Kings Highway, Manhattan Beach, and Midwood. The family-run tabloid began nearly 70 years ago as a World War II newsletter, reporting on Brooklynites serving in the Armed Forces. Its expanded and colorized print and web presence continues to connect readers with advertisers seeking these important neighborhoods.

“Thank you to Community News Group and our account executive for their expertise and knowledge in helping us reach the communities of Brooklyn. Since we first opened in 2006, Courier Life has been a wonderfully

dedicated asset to Aviator Sports in helping us target the neighborhoods we want to reach. This is most valuable and has helped guide us in making our marketing decisions.”

It’s the youngest newspaper in our chain — and a one-of-a-kind. The Mill Basin-Marine Park Courier —

established in 2009 to cover residential Marine Park, Mill Basin, Bergen Beach, Canarsie, and Georgetown — offers vast potential for businesses looking to strengthen their community-focused advertising. These hyper-localities in Southern Brooklyn are a magnet for young, upwardly mobile families and affluent professionals, making them an ideal target for your business message.

BAY RIDGE COURIER

“Through our 10 years here at The Pearl Room, CNG and the Bay Ridge Courier have been instrumental in helping us grow. The Courier’s marketing skills, ad designs, and dining stories have helped us expand our customer base

through the entire borough of Brooklyn. Even as hectic as it can be in the restaurant business, they have always been willing to work with us very closely to make sure we make all of the special edition deadlines. The personal touch is what makes working with them so great.”

Anthony Rinaldi Chef/ Proprietor

The Pearl Room Restaurant

Bay Ridge’s community appeal is a powerful vehicle for lucrative business opportunities, and its

hometown newspaper — the Bay Ridge Courier — is the forum of choice to fortify brands. Residents of Bay Ridge — named for its proximity to the Narrows Bay and its glacial-era high ridge — know their neighbors, schools, and merchants. They attend civic meetings together and unite at community fundraisers. The small-town ambience offers big potential for advertisers desiring solid community coverage.

“As a medical practitioner in the borough, I consider it important to reach the communities surrounding our practice. For over three years we have advertised in Brooklyn Courier and have had much success in increasing our patient base from the neighborhoods of Brooklyn.

Community News Group’s regular health features are excellent vehicles for our advertising.”

Dr. Enrico Ascher Founder and Director,

Brooklyn Courier advertisers have taken notice of Brooklyn’s growing reputation as an incubator for

tech startups and trendy commercial enterprises. Its fringe culture of young hipsters powers a thriving indie arts, food, and music scene in Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Ditmas Park, Downtown, Kensington, DUMBO, and Windsor Terrace. Exciting long-term initiatives — including the Brooklyn Tech Triangle Strategic Plan, estimated to advance economic, recreational, and commercial growth in the greater Downtown Brooklyn area over the next 10 years — are plums of opportunity waiting to be plucked by savvy companies.
