Tribune Plans Another Free Daily, This Time in NYC
The new tabloid, amNewYork, will target young urban commuters and will be launched early in the fourth quarter, according to Newsday. Distribution will begin in Manhattan and then spread to the other boroughs, with papers given away at subway stations and bus stops as well as health clubs, bars, restaurants and bookstores. Tribune Publishing, which owns the youth-oriented daily Red Eye in Chicago, will partner in New York with newspaper executive Russel Pergament, who developed the original idea for amNewYork.
