I know we are all going through some
difficult times now. However, the past 40 years have seen their share
of economic downturns and The New Times survived those. Because The New Times
is positioned as the leader in this market and our popularity continues
to grow as other media shrink, we shall not only survive but will grow
and prosper.
I know some readership has shifted to the Web, but once again The New Times
is on the cutting edge and ahead of most other media. We have hosted a
Web site for almost 15 years, long before most people knew what www
stood for. With several upgrades and redesigns over the past few years,
www.syracusenewtimes.com is a local leader in the new technology.
Attracting about 266,912 page views and about 14,700 first time unique
users per month, The New Times’ Web site will remain a strong leader in Central New York media.
But our success is not due only to The New Times. Among our other publications:
Family Times is the only parenting magazine in Central New York, serving the parents and grandparents of all families.
Dish is the official dining guide of Central New York, the only dining guide published in Central New York.
Last Call is the official bar and grille guide of Central New York and the only bar and grille guide in the area.
Summer Times is the original and still the very best summer vacation guide, available throughout upstate New York.
Student Survival Guide is the only back-to-school guide written by college students for college students.
Lights on the Lake is the official program guide of the Onondaga County Parks Department’s annual holiday lights show.
In addition, The New Times publishes more than a dozen papers with special themes each year.
After 40 years, The New Times and
our sister publications are still the best advertising buy in Central
New York. Our avid readers and loyal advertisers will carry us through
this temporary economic downturn, and we will all be prospering again
soon.

P.S.: Contrary to false rumors that some people have been spreading around town, The New Times has not been sold nor is The New Times closing. As a matter of fact, we are growing and moving forward.
