History
Their scoops are picked up by The New York Times. In 2019 they acquired AM New York Metro from Newsday Media Group.

By early 2020 they had expanded their reach to Philadelphia.

In May 2024, the company acquired Anton Media Group. In July that same year the company acquired Blank Slate Media.

Controversies
The Gothamist wrote "The company also publishes a promotional "newspaper" for Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, full of glowing stories about the borough president," sourcing it to a Schneps competitor, The New York Daily News. Gothamist also claimed, regarding Schneps reporters, that "the Schneps owners forced them to write sponsored content, while shielding advertisers and local officials from critical coverage."
