Manhasset Press

What Manhasset Press does

Manhasset Press was a weekly community newspaper founded in 1932 and based in Mineola, New York, providing hyperlocal coverage of Manhasset and surrounding Nassau County neighborhoods including Munsey Park, Plandome, Plandome Heights, Plandome Manor, and Flower Hill. The publication operated a WordPress-based digital publishing platform distributing local news, sports, entertainment, real estate, community events, classifieds, obituaries, and opinion content to Long Island residents and local businesses. Its revenue model combined digital advertising, recurring subscriptions for premium content access, and classifieds and legal notices — a traditional community-newspaper mix.

As a stand-alone brand, Manhasset Press has ceased operating as a distinct publication: manhassetpress.com now redirects to longislandpress.com, with Long Island Press serving as the new home of Manhasset Press content under the Schneps Media network. The integrated Long Island Press platform now encompasses an expanded product set including a news portal, digital editions, an events calendar, a jobs board, the Best of Long Island awards program (in partnership with FourLeaf), Power Lists events, a Home Pros directory, and subscription/advertising services. Content is cross-promoted across sister publications including Dan's Papers, amNY, and Behind the Hedges. Manhasset Press serves SMB advertisers (local merchants, real estate, home services), individual subscribers, and readers seeking hyperlocal Long Island information; its customer base is geographically concentrated in Long Island / Nassau County and highly fragmented at the advertiser level.

• Times Ledger: Queens/Nassau community newspaper group publishing multiple weekly community titles in adjacent New York suburban markets. Same multi-title hyperlocal model and similar revenue mix (ads, classifieds, legal notices).
