Metro New York was a free daily newspaper in New York City.
Background
It was launched on May 5, 2004 by Metro International. [1]
Metro New York was primarily distributed by " hawkers" paid to station themselves in areas with high pedestrian traffic, who offer the free paper to anyone who passes by. In 2009, Metro International sold its US papers to a former executive. [2]
In January 2020, the assets of Metro New York and Metro Philadelphia were acquired by Schneps Media, owner of AM New York. [3] The New York papers were combined as AM New York Metro.
