The newspaper you may be currently holding began its journey in a massive production facility off the Van Wyck Expressway in College Point, Queens. The New York Times Company prints hundreds of thousands of copies of Schneps Media daily and weekly newspapers produced every week.
On a hot summer day last year, Schneps Media team of reporters, production artists and sales reps watched as their print products, like The Queens Courier, amNewYork and Caribbean Life, were launched upward by high-speed rollers.
All the hard work put in by reporters, editors, graphics designers, salespeople and publishers is done on computer screens through internet clouds, but becomes a tangible product in a place where high-speed machinery hums, rattles and clacks, and the smell of fresh ink hangs through the air.
Today, Schneps Media has grown to include more than 100 publications, like amNewYork, Brooklyn Paper, Brownstoner, Long Island Press and more. While millions of readers rely on their always-on digital news products, including amNewYork.com, QNS.com, BrooklynPaper.com, BXTimes.com, NewYorkFamily.com and others, Schneps Media publishes and distributes more than 600,000 printed copies of its properties each week in New York City. Production takes place at The New York Times Company’s plant in College Point on seven machines the size of houses.
