About
About WG:
WG represents a rapidly expanding community of consumers and businesses in North Brooklyn and beyond. We offer the best new way for businesses to reach our growing residential community which needs up-to-date information on all the goods and services available right here in our immediate neighborhood and in the greater metropolitan area. We will help you attract these new customers. WG brings excitement and new ideas to a community that is ripe for its message. When you advertise with us you benefit from our ability to communicate with those you want to reach.
WG is currently published monthly, but soon to be twice-monthly. WG is a locally-owned, independent community newspaper available free of charge at over 400 convenient locations. Our circulation is between 13,000 - 15,000.
WG’s generous broadsheet newspaper format, 13 3/4 inches x 22 3/4 inches, says a lot about the kind of paper we are: ample in an age of corner cutting with room for a rich selection of photos, news stories, features, opinion pieces, profiles and large versatile advertising sections. Our comprehensive coverage of local politics, business, community board activity, environmental issues, public safety, schools, sports, personality profiles and real estate development will give community residents the facts they need not only to live here but to enjoy and participate fully in the life of the community.
With the help of WG, readers will be able to observe and respond to events as they unfold and can discover and interact with local organizations that are working to make a difference in the life of the community.
Our website will feature top news stories that will be accessible and available for free in our online archives. The website will also have an ongoing presentation of photo outtakes of neighborhood events, which will also soon be available for purchase.
We look forward to hearing from you. We encourage your participation and support. Because your news is our news.
Look for your copy of WG News at locations throughout Greenpoint and Williamsburg.
